melbourne beach surf forecast

Weekend: Staying in the knee to thigh range from the east at about 8 sec for the weekend.  The winds are following a summer pattern of gentle offshore morning winds that turn onshore and build a touch for the afternoon.

Looking ahead:  An area of high pressure kicks up strong NE winds and chunky wind swell for the start of next week.  We may see lighter winds for northern areas starting on Tuesday for some more manageable but smaller surf.  South of the Cape is forecast to have steady onshore winds in the mid teens for most of the week.

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.
