Coming up. Rain is likely tomorrow evening, from about 5 PM (50%).
Now. Klondike Beach is 77° and clear at 10 PM. The dew point is 72°, so the air feels very oppressive. Light breeze from the east at 5 mph.
Today and tonight. Tonight falls to about 76° by 4 AM, under a mostly clear sky.
The week. The warmest day ahead is tomorrow, near 88°, and the coolest Sunday, near 79°. Rain or snow is likely tomorrow (87%) and Saturday (68%). Rain is possible Sunday (32%), Monday (40%) and Wednesday (30%). The windiest day is Sunday, with wind to 23 mph.
The sky now. The Moon is a waxing crescent, 25% lit, and stays below the horizon until dawn. The next full Moon is Monday, Oct 26. Look for Saturn, bright in the southeast. A planet shines with a steady light where the stars around it twinkle. The Orionids meteor shower is active, peaking around Oct 21: at its peak, up to about 20 meteors an hour can be seen from a dark site. The sky is forecast to stay clear: a good night to look up. The day is 11 hours 30 minutes long, 1 minute shorter than yesterday.

Rip current risk today: moderate
The flag in the picture is the colour of the forecast's risk (green low, yellow moderate, red high), not a flag raised on the beach.
A rip current is a narrow stream of water running out from the shore through the surf, often where fewer waves break. Caught in one, swim across it, along the shore, then back in.
The surf zone forecast for Coastal Volusia-Mainland Northern Brevard, Northern Brevard Barrier Islands, and the waves at buoy 41009, 35.3 mi away.
Wave height is the significant height: the mean of the highest third of the waves. The period is the time between the waves carrying the most energy.
