Alright, buckle up, East Central Floridians, it's time for your coastal waters forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne.
Today, for Flagler Beach to the Volusia-Brevard County Line area within 20 nautical miles, expect some west winds in the morning shifting to the east/southeast in the afternoon. Seas will be around 2 feet with a light chop on the intracoastal waters. Tonight, winds will be out of the southeast at 5 to 10 knots, then turning southerly after midnight, with seas around 2 feet.
As we cruise into Monday, winds will be coming from the southwest at 5 to 10 knots, later shifting to the southeast. Seas will still be around 2 feet, so not too choppy out there. Tuesday brings a slight bump in wind speed to 10 to 15 knots from the southeast, creating a moderate chop on the water.
For those venturing out a bit farther, from Flagler Beach to the Volusia-Brevard County Line beyond 20 nautical miles, expect similar conditions with some variations in wind direction and speed. Southwesterly breezes will dance with southeast winds throughout the week, creating seas of 2 to 3 feet.
Now, for the fisherfolk heading from Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet within 20 nautical miles, today should see northeast to east winds at 10 knots. Seas will be hovering around 3 to 4 feet, occasionally reaching 5 feet. Monday brings calmer seas with east winds of 5 to 10 knots.
And for those sailing out even farther, from Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet beyond 20 nautical miles, expect northeast to east winds at 10 to 15 knots with seas ranging from 3 to 4 feet, occasionally touching 5 feet, creating a moderate chop on the water.
