Melbourne Florida for 12-14-2024

Hey there, folks! Today we're diving into the coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida. Get ready for a wild ride out there!

For starters, we've got some hazardous boating conditions hanging around this weekend and into the early week. High pressure to the north is cooking up some onshore winds, leading to a developing long period swell. So make sure you've got your sea legs on!

If you're braving the Atlantic today near Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet, you'll be facing north-northeast winds blowing at around 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots. Hold onto your hats - seas will be running 8 to 12 feet high.

And hey, if you're planning on cruising closer to shore from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line, be prepared for a wild ride. We're talking east winds revving up to 25 knots, with seas soaring up to 13 feet occasionally. Chance of showers to keep things interesting.

As we sail into the new week, expect the winds to lessen a bit but still pack a punch. It's a rollercoaster of conditions out there, so hold on tight!
