Melbourne Florida for 07-26-2024

Hey there! Time for your East Central Florida Coastal Waters Forecast, coming at you straight from the National Weather Service in Melbourne, Florida.

So, here's the lowdown for the area from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nautical miles. We've got a weakening Atlantic high that's heading south, making way for some light and variable winds today. You can expect those winds to shift onshore around 10 knots as we head into the afternoon and evening thanks to the east coast sea breeze. Keep an eye out for increasing chances of showers and storms as we move forward.

No Gulf Stream hazards to worry about at the moment. The approximate location of the Gulf Stream based on the Real-Time Ocean Forecast System places it at varying distances east of different inlets.

For Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line within 0-20 nautical miles, today brings south winds around 5 knots becoming southeast later on. Seas will be around 2 to 3 feet. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the mix throughout the day.

As we move into the weekend, expect similar patterns with a mix of winds and chances of those classic Florida afternoon storms. Winds and waves might pick up near any thunderstorms that pop up.
