Melbourne Florida for 10-20-2024

Hey there, folks! Time for a bit of a nautical twist in today's weather outlook. We're diving into the Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida, straight from the National Weather Service in Melbourne.

We're looking at some choppy waters and breezy conditions ahead, so if you're planning any boating adventures, listen up!

From Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet, we've got a persistent high-pressure system camped out over the eastern U.S. That means moderate to fresh winds coming in from the east-northeast, ranging from 15 to 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 25 miles per hour. Hold onto your hats!

For those out around the Gulf Stream, expect seas ranging from 6 to 9 feet. Keep your sea legs steady out there! The Gulf Stream wall is hanging out anywhere from 12 to 43 nautical miles east of various inlets like Port Canaveral and Fort Pierce.

Now, let's break it down closer to the coast.

From Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, we've got a Small Craft Advisory in place until Tuesday morning. Today, expect northeast winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour and seas ranging from 6 to 7 feet, possibly hitting 9 feet at times. It's gonna be choppy out there! Watch out for a slight chance of showers throughout the day.

For the night owls, similar conditions persist with slight chances of showers and choppy seas. Heading into Monday and Tuesday, the seas stay lively with a moderate chop on the intracoastal waters. Remember to keep an eye on the skies for those showers drifting in occasionally.
