Melbourne Florida for 09-19-2024

Hey there, coastal residents! Time to dive into your East Central Florida coastal waters forecast brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

Today, we've got a weak front loitering over the southeast US, inching south across our waters. This means northeast winds picking up each day through the weekend, potentially making boating a bumpy ride, especially come Sunday. On the bright side, rain and storm chances are dipping below normal as we hit the weekend.

No hazardous streams in the Gulf Stream currently. The West wall's whereabouts place it 45 nautical miles east of Ponce Inlet, gradually shifting 12 nautical miles east of Saint Lucie Inlet by the 16th.

So, let's break it down for specific spots:

For Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, 0-20 nm:

- Today, expect West winds calming before a North switch this afternoon. Seas around 3 feet. Light chop on the intracoastal waters. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.
- For tonight, Northeast winds easing up, then becoming smooth waters. Chance of more showers later on.

Remember, winds and waves can spike near thunderstorms, folks!

Curious about Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet, 20-60 nm?

- Friday sees North winds calming, transitioning midday. Seas around 3 to 4 feet. Watch out for some sneaky thunderstorm chances.
