Today across the Florida coast, marine conditions are characterized by light to gentle breezes as high pressure remains influential over the Atlantic waters. Residents and mariners can expect mostly clear skies with temperatures reaching a high near 84°F and dropping to a comfortable low of 72°F. East winds will persist at 5 to 10 knots, occasionally shifting southeast in the afternoon, resulting in smooth to light chop conditions on intracoastal waters. Waves along the Atlantic beaches are averaging 2 to 3 feet in height, providing manageable conditions for coastal activities.

Tidal fluctuations for the region show a low tide occurring at approximately 6:04 AM, followed by a high tide at 11:58 AM. A second low tide is expected in the late afternoon around 5:48 PM. These predictable water level changes will coincide with steady swell energy from the east-southeast.

Recent data from regional buoys indicate stable ocean energy. The offshore Fernandina Beach buoy is reporting a primary swell of 2.3 feet at 6 seconds from the East (100°), while the St. Augustine buoy shows a slightly stronger 3.6 foot swell at 6 seconds from the East (97°). A secondary, longer-period swell is also present at 0.5 feet with a 14-second interval from the East-Southeast. For tomorrow, the outlook remains favorable with south winds increasing to 10 to 15 knots and seas holding steady between 2 to 4 feet under partly cloudy skies.
