Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida

National Weather Service Melbourne FL

High pressure will continue to build offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast, which will allow winds to veer onshore and decrease through mid-week. However, a long period swell will keep seas slightly elevated through Wednesday, with poor boating conditions forecast to continue over the Gulf Stream waters. With the increasing swell, boaters will need to Exercise Caution at inlets this week due to Hazardous conditions surrounding the twice daily outgoing tide. Deteriorating boating conditions expected on Sunday ahead of an approaching strong cold front.

Atlantic coastal waters from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out 60 nm. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest one third of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest ten percent of the waves. GULF STREAM HAZARDS.Seas up to 6 feet in a long period swell. The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream based on the Real Time Ocean Forecast System as of Tuesday, February 17th, 2026. 46 nautical miles east of Ponce Inlet. 33 nautical miles east of Port Canaveral. 28 nautical miles east of Sebastian Inlet. 19 nautical miles east of Fort Pierce Inlet. 12 nautical miles east of Saint Lucie Inlet.
