It looks like they are predicting the depression will vanish over eastern Cuba later on today. The wind forecasts have fallen off a bit as well. They could fill in or perhaps stay light throughout the day. The direction is still onshore though, not good for newer guys. There will likely be squalls as there frequently are throughout the summer, just perhaps not as many as associated with more developed tropical systems. Yesterday there was a nasty squall line working up the SW Florida coast that apparently was unrelated to the depression. It is always a good idea to checkout the forecast, realtime winds up weather and color radar before heading out.
