Melbourne Florida for 06-02-2024

Hey there, East Central Florida! Time to dive into your Coastal Waters Forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne on this fine Sunday, June 2, 2024.

So, what's cookin' out there on the Atlantic coastal waters from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet? Well, high pressure hanging out off the Carolina coast is playing it cool, easing over to the western Atlantic. As we head into the midweek, a ridge of good vibes will stretch out west across north Florida, keeping that sweet onshore flow going. Could be a bit bumpy out on the water today, but fear not, as conditions are set to smooth out for a more pleasant boating experience as the week rolls on.

No Gulf Stream hazards to fret about right now. And if you're wondering, the west wall of the Gulf Stream is chillin' at various distances from our beloved inlets.

For Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line within 20 nautical miles, expect some east to southeast winds at a comfortable 10 to 15 knots today, with seas around 3 feet. You might get a sprinkle in the morning, but later be ready for a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Tonight, those winds calming down to 5 to 10 knots with seas persisting at 2 to 3 feet.

Looking into the start of the workweek, similar vibes on Monday with a chance of showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms.

If you're sailing out farther to the 20-60 nautical mile range, like from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, expect a tad more wave action with 3 to 4 feet seas and a sprinkle of showers until late afternoon today.

As always, keep an eye out for those thunderstorms as they can stir up stronger winds and waves.
