Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida

National Weather Service Melbourne FL

Lingering rough seas near Space and Treasure Coast inlets during today and tonight's outgoing tides, from interaction with long period swell. Otherwise, generally favorable boating conditions as the ridge axis of high pressure extending to Florida from the Atlantic settles south of the area through Saturday. A strong cold front pushes through Florida and the local Atlantic waters Sunday, resulting in hazardous to potentially gale force conditions Sunday into Monday. High pressure builds into the Southeast behind the front, but poor to hazardous conditions could persist through Tuesday, especially in the Gulf Stream.

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.None. The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream based on the Real Time Ocean Forecast System as of Wednesday, February 18th, 2026. 45 nautical miles east of Ponce Inlet. 32 nautical miles east of Port Canaveral. 26 nautical miles east of Sebastian Inlet. 18 nautical miles east of Fort Pierce Inlet. 10 nautical miles east of Saint Lucie Inlet.
