melbourne beach surf report

Wednesday: Small day. Knee high with lucky bigger sets for most. Strong NW winds are pushing down the surf in most spots.

melbourne beach surf forecast

Thursday:  Winds start brisk and onshore but then vary in strength and direction as an area of high pressure moves over the state but they should stay moderate  for the afternoon.  Wave size may tick up just a bit to the thigh with a few bigger sets zone but should be pretty clean.

Looking ahead: We see a little dip in the surf on Friday with moderate onshore winds.  There might be a touch more size south of the Cape.   I’m still seeing a possibility for a little bump on Saturday but SE winds in the low teens will chop it up a bit.  On Sunday we are looking at strong South winds so a south protected spot will be the way to go if you plan to paddle out.  Winds shift to the North for the start of next week setting up for a choppy North wind swell turning onshore and bringing some big chunky conditions for next week.  The models are in disagreement of what happens next as an area of low pressure moves over the state and into the Atlantic so stay tuned.

melbourne beach surf break information

At the western end of Ocean Avenue on the Indian River is historic Ryckman Park which has gazebos and many sports activities besides a 430-foot pier. Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge along A1A is known as a haven for sea turtles and, in fact, about one-fourth of the turtles that nest in the United States do so at this refuge each summer.

With the abundance of wildlife on this barrier island, there are plenty of places to get close to nature. Three hiking trails you might want to check out are:
● Coconut Point Sanctuary (3/4 mile loop)
● Maritime Hammock Sanctuary (Two mile trail)
● Mountain Bike Trail (Connects Long Point Park and Sebastian Inlet State Recreation Area)

There have been many treasure finds due to Spanish ships that were lost along the east coast of Florida during hurricane season. The McLarty Treasure Museum and the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum are about 15 miles south of Melbourne Beach, Florida in Sebastian.

Surf News 3 months ago

If the current projected course holds turn we could be looking at a...
