If you have been watching the wave models it's pretty obvious we got some weather coming with big surf starting this weekend and next week!


.COASTAL FLOODING...
High astronomical tides, occurring at the same time as strong
northeast winds that develop behind the cold front, is expected to
lead to coastal flooding in some locations starting Friday morning
into the weekend. Some increase in water levels along the coast
will first be noticed during the high tide cycle early this
morning, then become more pronounced during the high tides on the
mornings of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. With that, a Coastal
Flood Watch is in effect for the aforementioned period. A High
Surf Advisory and/or High Risk of Rip Currents is possibly needed
to be issued sometime today or tonight.

snippets from NWS melbourne Wx discussion:

Fri-Sat...Wet and unsettled pattern expected Friday into Friday
night, as low pressure pushes eastward across the FL peninsula
along a stalled front near to just north of Lake Okeechobee.
Strengthening mid-upper level trough/closed low moving through the
Southeast U.S. will deepen this low pressure at the sfc as it
shifts just offshore the east central Florida coast late Friday
night into early weekend. This will lead to increasing northerly
winds producing breezy/windy conditions across much of east
central FL into Saturday.

Sun-Wed...Closed low/trough aloft pushes off the southeast U.S.
coast into Sunday, shifting deepening low pressure farther E/NE of
the area. High pressure gradually builds in behind this system
and across the area from early to middle of next week, with low
level winds gradually veering from northerly Sun-Mon to onshore
into Tue- Wed. Drier air continues to build into the area, with
only a slight chance of showers along the coast into Sunday. PoPs
then remain out of the forecast Mon-Tue, before some slight
moistening in the lower levels may bring back a few onshore moving
showers into Wednesday, mainly near to south of the Cape. Breezy
conditions may persist, especially along the coast into Sun-Mon,
before wind speeds then decrease toward mid-week. Highs in the low
to mid 70s on Sunday will slowly warm through the period, back
into the low 80s by Wednesday. Overnight lows will remain in the
50s to low 60s over much of the area Sunday and Monday nights, and
then rise slightly into the 60s Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

Fri-Sun...Low pressure will cross central FL and deepen off the
east central FL coast into late Friday-Saturday. Winds will
gradually increase out of the E/NE up to 15-20 knots on Friday
with additional increases expected into Saturday as winds back to
the N/NW. Some uncertainly remains in exact position of low
pressure and how long it lingers off the coast, but solid SCA
conditions will likely occur as northerly winds increase up to
20-25 knots and seas build into the weekend (forecast up to 10-14
feet currently).

However, some model guidance even indicates Gale conditions could
be possible over the coastal waters, on the west side of this
strengthening low pressure as it moves slowly E/NE from Saturday
into Saturday night. Mariners should keep a close eye on the
forecast for late week into the weekend for any significant
changes, and at least expect poor to hazardous boating conditions
developing into Friday, that will continue to deteriorate through
the weekend.

Mon...Hazardous boating conditions are forecast to continue into
early next week with N/NE winds up to 15-20 knots and seas up to
7-11 feet.

James Weiland the weatherman is bringing me back to earth: SUNDAY: NE swell picks up shoulder-head-overhead high and peaky with some power. Hard north tilt will open some lines up too. Might be a barrel-fest at some spots. could push farther south eventually. Wind breezy offshore (NW) in the morning and only turning NNW in the afternoon so staying relatively clean all day.

Me too, but 20/30mph offshores might need a wave runner to get you in. Hoping for a window with lighter winds.

In other news, the NHC named Tropical Storm Wanda. Not a wave maker for us as it is way out in the North Atlantic.
