Melbourne Florida for 08-16-2024

Hey there, folks!

Grab your sunscreen and your sea legs because we've got the scoop on the coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida straight from the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

Now, for all you boaters out there, things are getting a bit spicy as Hurricane Ernesto sends some long period swells your way. So, if you're planning a venture out, exercise caution and keep an eye on those seas - they could reach up to 8 feet in some areas due to those Northeast winds blowing at 10 to 15 knots.

For those sticking closer to the shore, expect a moderate chop on the intracoastal waters today, with a decent wind coming from the Northeast at around 10 to 15 knots.

As we glide into the weekend, conditions should slowly improve as those swells ease up and high pressure settles in. But remember, always stay weather-wise, especially near inlets during the outgoing tide today.
