Diana Nyad is still waiting in Florida for the right conditions to set off on her estimated 60+ hour 103-mile (165K) attempt from Cuba to Florida.

This is the kind of weather forecast she faces today and over the next few days:

“Small craft advisory in effect. North to northeast winds around 20 knots. Winds highest beyond the reef. Seas beyond te reef 4-7 feet. Seas higher in the Gulf Stream.”

Saturday: “Northeast winds near 15 knots. Seas beyond the reef 3-5 feet. Seas higher in the Gulf Stream. Nearshore waters a moderate chop.”

Sunday: “Northeast to East winds 10-15 knots. Seas beyond the reef 2-4 feet. Seas higher in the Gulf Stream. Nearshore waters a light to moderate chop. Isolated showers.”

And the weather forecast is similar for next Monday and Tuesday. The wait and anticipation continues.
