Hey there, folks! It's time to dive into your coastal waters forecast for East Central Florida brought to you by the National Weather Service in Melbourne. So, what does the ocean have in store for us?

Let's kick things off with a quick synopsis for the region stretching from Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet. We've got a weak surface front expected to move north of the waters later this week, with light offshore winds shifting to onshore as the east coast sea breeze kicks in. By the weekend, get ready for some northeast winds following a weak cold front, and keep those umbrellas handy for scattered showers and lightning storms ahead.

No Gulf Stream hazards in sight today, so you're good to go on the water.

For those near Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line within 0-20 nautical miles: today calls for west winds shifting north then east, with seas around 3 feet and a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Tonight, winds will switch to the south before becoming west, with a slight chance of showers lingering. Tomorrow, expect a mix of northwest and northeast winds, with a chance of more showers and thunderstorms.

If you're further out at Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet within 0-20 nautical miles, similar conditions apply but keep an eye out for shifting winds and a mix of showers throughout the day and night.

Now, for those planning a farther journey from Flagler Beach to Volusia-Brevard County Line within 20-60 nautical miles - be prepared for changing wind directions throughout the day, with seas around 3 to 4 feet and a chance of thunderstorms.

And moving even further out from Volusia-Brevard County Line to Sebastian Inlet within 20-60 nautical miles, similar conditions persist with a mix of winds and a chance of thunderstorms.

For the adventurers cruising Sebastian Inlet to Jupiter Inlet within 20-60 miles today, expect increasing winds from the southwest, shifting east, with seas around 4 feet and - you guessed it - a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
