Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Indian River Shores, FL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 236 PM EDT Wed May 13 2026

Currently-Tonight...Broad area of weak low pressure will cross central Florida pushing a weak frontal boundary gradually southward into tonight. Scattered showers and storms will continue to develop along and ahead of the west coast sea breeze, shifting east- northeast and offshore through this afternoon and evening. A few stronger storms will still be possible, especially with any boundary interactions at the coast, where the pinned east coast sea breeze can form. Main threats continue to be frequent lightning, strong wind gusts, small hail, and locally heavy rainfall. As the front slowly progresses southward tonight, may see additional showers linger along this boundary into the overnight hours. Temperatures will fall into the mid 60s to low 70s through late tonight.

Thursday-Friday...As front shifts south, drier air continues to filter into the area tomorrow, with PW values falling to 1.0-1.2 inches. This will lead to mostly dry conditions, with winds out of the N/NW around 5-10 mph, becoming onshore at the coast as the east coast sea breeze forms. Winds then switch onshore into Friday as high pressure builds down into the Southeast U.S., with wind speeds a tad stronger around 10-15 mph behind the inland moving sea breeze.
Mostly dry conditions will continue into Friday, but may see isolated showers/storms develop into the afternoon around the Lake Okeechobee region (chance of rain 20%). Highs remain around normal in the mid to upper 80s. Lows Thursday night may be just a tad cooler then the previous night, but still mostly in the 60s. Then as onshore winds develop, min temps Friday night begin to warm back up to the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Saturday-Tuesday...(Modified Previous Discussion) High pressure across the Southeast U.S. shifts offshore, with ridge axis remaining near to north of the area through the weekend into early next week.
This maintains an onshore flow across the region, with a gradual increase in moisture expected. This will raise rain chances slightly, with an overall low to medium (20-50 percent) chance of rain each day, focused along the coast early in the day and translating inland with the afternoon sea breeze. Temperatures remain either near to slightly above normal, mostly in the 80s, but may see max temps well inland reach the low 90s this weekend.

MARINE
Issued at 236 PM EDT Wed May 13 2026

Tonight-Thursday...Scattered offshore moving storms, a few which may be strong, will be the main hazard to boaters through this afternoon and evening. Otherwise, winds eventually become N/NW as a weak front across the waters shifts south late tonight. Wind speeds will largely remain below 15 knots, with seas 3-5 feet.

Friday-Monday...High pressure moving into the Southeast U.S. late week will shift offshore into the weekend, with winds becoming onshore. E/SE winds will increase to 10-15 knots, and may briefly increase to 15-20 knots at times offshore mainly during the late afternoon/evening hours each day. Seas will continue to range from 2-4 feet through the period.

Mostly dry conditions are forecast for Friday, with isolated to scattered showers and storms returning this weekend and continuing across the waters through early next week.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFs)
Issued at 717 PM EDT Wed May 13 2026

Earlier showers and storms along the sea breeze continue to push offshore this evening. CAMs suggest a few showers and perhaps a lightning strike this evening generally from MCO/ISM southward, though coverage is forecast to be low given the loss of daytime heating with sunset. Thus, while a few showers will remain possible through around 0-1Z, overall dry conditions prevail. Have only included a VCSH mention for the Treasure Coast terminals through around 2Z.

VFR, dry conditions prevail for Thursday. NW winds in the morning increase to 8-10 kts after sunrise. An easterly sea breeze then pushes inland after 18Z, making it to near SFB by around 22Z.
