By Activity
Today's Verdict4.3 ft seas, 18.1 kt wind — rough conditions. Strong surge expected at shore entry sites. Boat dives with caution; poor nearshore visibility likely.
4.3 ft @ 5s · short period wind chop. Bumpy, difficult to read — boards with volume preferred.
4.3 ft seas, 18.1 kt wind — open water unsafe for most kayaks and SUPs. Stay in the ICW, inlets, or sheltered bays only.
4.3 ft seas, 18.1 kt wind — small craft advisory conditions likely. Offshore not recommended. Inshore inlets and nearshore reefs only; secure all gear.
4.3 ft offshore, 18.1 kt wind — rough shore break and high rip current risk. Flag conditions likely Red. Avoid swimming; wading only with extreme caution.
