Melbourne Florida for 04-10-2024

Good morning, all you East Central Florida folks! It's time for your daily dose of coastal waters forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service.

Alrighty, let's dive right in! Boating conditions are set to get a little hairy through Thursday as high pressure drifts farther into the Atlantic. So, expect those southeast breezes to pick up some serious speed, reaching around 15 to 20 miles per hour, with seas ranging from 4 to 6 feet, occasional seas reaching up to 7 feet. So, hold on tight if you're hitting the water!

And keep an eye out for a cold front making its way towards our local Atlantic waters from the west on Thursday. As it approaches, expect those winds to shift towards the southwest, potentially bringing in some gale-force gusts, particularly in the Gulf Stream. Now that's some serious wind action!

Don't forget your rain gear because we're looking at some offshore-moving showers and even a few storms tagging along with that front on Thursday. But fear not, high pressure makes a grand return on Friday into the weekend, meaning boating conditions should slowly start to improve. Phew, I see some smooth sailing ahead!
