Coastal Waters Forecast for East Central Florida
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
The local Atlantic will sit between a stationary front over the Bahamas and high pressure along the Eastern Seaboard through the next couple of days. As the pressure gradient tightens, winds will remain fresh to occasionally strong out of the north-northeast. Boating conditions will remain poor to, at times, hazardous through at least Friday. Then, high pressure settles over the waters this weekend, leading to improving conditions.
