Small Craft Advisory Monday With 7–10 Ft Seas as Northeast Winds Strengthen in South Florida

A tightening pressure gradient from a weak front will drive rough surf, strong onshore flow, elevated rip currents.

Overview

  • The advisory begins Monday at 7 a.m., with northeast winds of 20–30 knots and offshore seas building to roughly 7–10 feet.
  • Gusts are expected to reach into the 20s to near 30 mph Monday, creating hazardous boating conditions and poor beach safety.
  • Rain chances remain limited near the coast around 20 percent, with only isolated, fast‑moving showers expected.
  • Temperatures stay seasonably warm: upper 70s near the coast Monday with inland spots near 80 after low to mid 80s on Sunday.
  • Winds ease gradually by midweek, and forecasts call for dry conditions on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with near‑ to above‑average temperatures.
