Coastal Waters Forecast for the Florida Keys
National Weather Service Key West FL
434 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025
Florida Bay, Hawk Channel and Straits of Florida from Ocean Reef
to south of Dry Tortugas, and the extreme southeastern Gulf of
America, including The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary
Seas are given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be
more than twice the significant wave height.
Wave Detail will include details about the period and direction
of origin for the highest energy waves. Long-period swells coming
from a different direction than the wind would be included in the
Wave Detail.

Synopsis for Keys coastal waters from Ocean Reef to Dry Tortugas
434 PM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025
.SYNOPSIS...Widely ranging northwest to north breezes throughout
the Florida Keys coastal waters are expected to freshen across
most of the area heading into tonight. The exception will be the
easternmost marine areas where they may be shadowed by the Florida
mainland resulting in Small Craft Should Exercise Caution
headlines. High pressure over the Gulf and low pressure to north
of the Bahamas will result in peaking and lulling breezes
continuing through early Friday. Another frontal passage may press
through the Keys late week or early in the weekend with another
round of freshening northwest to north breezes.
