Keep an eye out as moderate northeast winds transition to easterly by Tuesday, and conditions might get choppy offshore as the week progresses.

Good news - no hazards in the Gulf Stream today!

And for those venturing further out, from Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet within 0-20 nm, similar conditions with a slight uptick in winds by Monday afternoon and a chance of showers and storms as the week progresses.

If you're setting sail from Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet, expect north to northeast winds, increasing to east by Monday afternoon, keeping seas around 3 to 4 feet. And yep, chances of showers and storms are part of the fun too.

Further out from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line 20-60 nm, and Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet 20-60 nm, you're looking at northeast winds around 10 knots, seas ranging from 4 to 6 feet, and yes, a chance of thunderstorms as well.
