melbourne beach surf report

Friday: Knee high with maybe a lucky bigger set at the better spots and tides. Swell is out of the east around 1.2 feet at 8 sec seconds, the primary size driver this morning. Winds are cross shore out of the SSW around 8 mph this morning, holding fairly steady into the afternoon at 5-9mph SSW, so conditions should stay relatively consistent through the day. Tides LT 10:08am, HT 4:56pm.

Weekend: Saturday: A touch smaller, shin high with occasional knee high sets out of the ESE at 8 seconds, but cross shore south winds 2-11mph keep conditions on the lower end. Tides HT 5:04am, LT 11:07am, HT 5:54pm.

Sunday: Sunday looks a little cleaner. Swell holds around shin to knee high at 8 seconds out of the ESE, and SW winds going offshore at 5-14mph should groom things nicely. Still small surf, but the cleaner shape should make it ridable for larger boards. Tides HT 6:03am, LT 12:06pm, HT 6:52pm.

Looking Ahead: Monday we are down to the small to near flat range as the swell dies out a little. We may see a little knee high bump for the mid week but other than that it’s looking to be in the shin to lucky knee high range at the moment.

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.
