A Special Marine Warning is in effect for coastal waters from the Volusia-Brevard County line to Sebastian Inlet, extending up to 20 nautical miles offshore, until 8 p.m. EDT. The National Weather Service issued the alert after sustained winds of 25 mph and gusts up to 35 mph were recorded in the area. Boaters are advised to avoid navigating these waters and return to safe harbor immediately. The warning applies to all vessels, including recreational and commercial boats, and covers the entire coastal region from the Kennedy Space Center to the southern tip of Sebastian Inlet. The National Weather Service recommends mariners check the latest forecasts through its website or weather radio. Updates are expected by 5 p.m. EDT, but conditions could change rapidly. The warning follows a series of tropical storm remnants passing through the region this week, which have already caused minor flooding in low-lying areas of Indialantic and Cocoa. Local authorities say the storm system is expected to move east by midnight, but coastal erosion and rip current risks remain elevated until the warning expires. The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office has deployed additional patrol boats to monitor compliance with the warning. Sheriff Wayne Ivey said in a statement that enforcement will focus on ensuring no vessels are stranded in hazardous conditions. The warning is the third issued this month for the area, with previous alerts related to thunderstorms and high tides. Residents near the coast are being urged to avoid swimming near jetties and piers until the warning is lifted. The National Weather Service says the next update will include a detailed analysis of wind patterns and potential impacts on marine traffic. Boaters who ignore the warning could face fines and risks to personal safety, according to the county’s emergency management office.
