Melbourne Florida for 05-02-2026
# Coastal Waters Forecast Warns of Rough Seas and Thunderstorms This Weekend
The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida, from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet extending 60 nautical miles offshore. Small craft operators should exercise caution as a significant weather system approaches the region.
A cold front will reach northern waters late Saturday and push southward, arriving in South Florida by early Sunday. This system will bring scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms to the area. Behind the front, offshore winds will shift from southwest to north and northeast, with speeds of 15 to 20 knots expected.
Current conditions show southwest winds between 10 and 15 knots with seas ranging from 3 to 4 feet. However, conditions will deteriorate significantly tonight as the front approaches. North winds will increase to 15 to 20 knots, driving seas up to 5 feet with occasional waves reaching 6 feet across much of the forecast area. Showers will likely develop in the evening with scattered thunderstorms possible.
Sunday will remain unsettled with north to northeast winds continuing at 15 to 20 knots and seas building to 4 to 6 feet, occasionally reaching 8 feet in the offshore zones. Although conditions gradually improve Sunday night into Monday, seas will remain elevated through the period with occasional 6 foot waves possible.
By Tuesday, conditions will stabilize considerably as high pressure builds over the region. East winds of 10 to 15 knots will prevail with seas diminishing to around 3 feet. This calmer pattern will persist through Wednesday as a ridge axis moves southward across the local Atlantic waters.
The Gulf Stream's western wall is currently positioned between 11 and 55 nautical miles offshore depending on latitude, with southwest winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas of 4 to 5 feet in that region.
Mariners should monitor the forecast closely and ensure their vessels and safety equipment are properly prepared before venturing offshore during this active weather period.
