Treasure Coast - Monday April 10, 2023: The National Weather Service in Melbourne has issued Wind, High Surf and Coastal Flood Advisories , as well as a High Rip Current Risk for the Treasure Coast.
Onshore winds and above normal tides will combine to generate flooding of low areas along the shore.

High surf will affect the beaches in the advisory area, producing localized beach erosion and dangerous swimming conditions.
