Florida Beaches Expected To See Beach Erosion

Windy Florida Weather Next Few Days

It’s a nasty windy day here in Southern Florida as there is a strong pressure gradient that has developed as strong high pressure over the eastern U.S. moves into the area. We are under several advisories for the next few days, including a Coastal Flood Watch as the wind surge is expected to push ocean waters closer in to structures along the beaches during high tides. There is also a High Surf Advisory for boaters and swimmers, and High Wind Advisory for all coastal and inland locations. The surf is sure to be up, and I might have to not only check it out for stock weather video, but maybe for a surfing session for myself.

Dangerous Beach Erosion Problems Developing.

Over the last few years ever since the 2004-2005 hurricanes that hit southern Florida, beach erosion problems have been becoming more and more widespread along the Florida east coast. Especially hit hard the last 4-5 big wind and wave events, has been in Martin and St Lucie counties. There are several beaches that are almost completely gone, with the wave and water lines nearly up to the structures. These area’s won’t handle this developing next big wave and wind event very well, and some could have water damage this time around.

Later today I plan on touring a few of the known area’s that tend to flood from coastal flooding events and where beach erosion is the worst. I hope to have some beach erosion pictures and videos up through the next few days as things develop.

Another Subtropical Storm Trying To Develop?

Yet, another possible subtropical system trying to form off of Florida today. Many of the models develop this hybrid storm over the Bahamas and track it westward over south Florida and into the Gulf. If this “system” was to develop, it would increase the pressure / wind gradient event more added more problems to the Florida coastal flooding and beach erosion. The rain from the event is always welcome, especially as the dry season is on the horizon and we are still below our yearly rain averages. Even though Lake Okeechobee has come up almost a foot since early summer, it still has 3-4 feet to go before it’s back to a normal water level.

I’ll keep you posted on the developing Florida active weather over the next few days.
