Coastal conditions across Florida today feature light to moderate onshore flow and manageable surf as high pressure holds steady over the peninsula. In North Florida, Jacksonville Pier is seeing waves in the 2 to 4 foot range with slightly choppy conditions, while Daytona Beach is holding similar sizes between 2 and 4 feet under fair skies. Moving south, Sebastian Inlet is producing consistent 2 to 4 foot peaks, Fort Pierce is reporting waves of 2 to 3 feet, and South Beach remains smaller with a gentle 1 to 2 foot surf.
Weather in Cocoa Beach is exceptionally pleasant today with a current temperature of 67°F and a forecast high reaching 75°F under mostly sunny skies. Marine data from the Fort Pierce buoy indicates a primary swell coming from the northeast at 1.0 foot with a long 10.5-second period, accompanied by a dominant wind-driven wave from the east-northeast at 2.6 feet with a 9.9-second interval. These conditions provide a clean but modest energy profile for the local breaks.
On the Gulf Coast, the marine environment is significantly calmer with southeast winds around 5 knots and waves generally 1 foot or less, making for smooth bay and inland waters despite some patchy morning fog. Tidal movements for the Atlantic coast show a morning high tide at 9:57 AM followed by a low tide at 4:18 PM. A second, slightly higher tide will return late tonight at 10:15 PM, providing a final push for the evening session.
