Looking like the north prediction is holding for the SE


Friday...North winds 20 to 25 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet near shore and up to 7 to 9 feet in the gulf stream. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers.

Friday Night...North winds 20 to 25 knots becoming 15 to 20 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet near shore and up to 8 to 10 feet in the gulf stream. Intracoastal waters a moderate chop. Slight chance of showers.


If it is a true north that will make riding south of central Palm Beach excepting Biscayne Bay and parts of the Keys difficult to not on. In the areas south a boat can be a big help is using this wind direction in many cases. North of Central Palm Beach it should be side on with big waves to go with.

As usual it looks to be a bit stronger at points in the Keys from the forecast and seems to extend far up the east coast. Should be fun, rig right and ride within your abilities.
