...HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM EDT THIS
EVENING...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 8 PM THIS EVENING TO 4 PM
EDT SATURDAY...

The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued a High Surf
Advisory, which is in effect from 8 PM this evening to 4 PM EDT
Saturday. 

* WAVES AND SURF...High surf is expected to develop along the east
  central Florida beaches starting tonight with the arrival of the
  high tide and increasing swells from the northeast. The high
  risk of rip currents will continue through the weekend as well. 

* Timing...Rough surf conditions will worsen during the next few
  days as seas and swell periods increase. 

* IMPACTS...Large northeast swells from Hurricane Humberto will
  produce rough surf and numerous strong rip currents in the surf
  zone, posing a threat to all swimmers during the next few days.
  Entering the surf is not advised. Minor beach erosion is
  possible near the time of high tide, which will be around 1130 
  pm tonight and noon on Thursday.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

There is a high risk of rip currents.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the
sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and
piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach patrol. Pay
attention to flags and posted signs.

A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches in
the advisory area...producing localized beach erosion and
dangerous swimming conditions.

East Central Florida Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Melbourne FL
920 PM EDT Tue Sep 17 2019

.DISCUSSION...

Not much to update at this hour with a dry environment in place
attm. The forecast was earlier updated to remove the coastal
headlines. A small chance of a light shower remains in place for the
Treasure Coast, where some brief showers may make it ashore from the
Gulf stream. the overnight shift will evaluate any need to re-
introduce a High Surf Advisory for the coast on Wed with
expectations of wind and swell once again increasing over the next
18-24H.

from prev disc...

Tonight...With drier air moving south across the FL peninsula today,
skies were partly cloudy from Orange/Brevard counties south and
mostly clear to their north. However, a few showers were streaming
to the south across the offshore waters east of the Treasure Coast,
remaining well off the coast. Satellite analysis showed this
infiltration of drier air mass from the north and any shower
activity overnight will concentrate over these waters.

Wed-Wed night...An area of moisture at the mid levels will be
pushed south towards FL during the day as a surface high pressure
builds from the northeast US towards FL. This will combine with
the daytime heating and a northeast wind flow to produce showers
and thunderstorms. These will focus over the waters, coastal areas
and towards the northern counties of Volusia to Lake during the
afternoon hours. Temperatures will not be as high as today, as we
expect highs in the lower 90s across the interior and upper 80s
along the coast.

Sea conditions will continue to be no suitable for boaters or
swimmers through the rest of the week. Large northeast swells
generated by Humberto will reach the Atlantic coastal waters of
central FL, causing a high risk for rip currents. Based on current
observations, criteria for a high surf was not met, yet. But with
a forecast calling for building seas and a swell period of 12
seconds, it will be needed either on Wed or Thu.

.AVIATION...
Thru 18/03Z...bcmg N/NE 3-6KTS. Btwn 18/12Z-18/15Z...bcmg NE 8-
12KTS. Vsbys/WX/Cigs: VFR all sites.

&&

.MARINE...
Seas of 8-9 feet with a predominant period of 11 seconds at 41009
continue with expectations of steadily building seas peaking at 10-
13 feet Thu and Fri. This coupled with a surge in northeast winds to
near 20 kts late Thu into the weekend. This surge in winds will be
the effect of a high pressure building to our north and increasing
the local pressure gradient. High surf and beach erosion will be
possible during this period.
