It is looking pretty light unfortunately by the forecast. Predicted to be 5 to 10 kts. around Tampa and 10 to 15 kts. around Melbourne for part of the time. Wind direction is important too of course as it is to shift side off in Melbourne on Sunday. All this is subject to change naturally enough. It could improve substantially or stay about the same.

A weak front is supposed to move down and then back up across Florida over the weekend. I wouldn't put too much stock in ikitesurf forecasts in areas where there isn't a meteorologist checking the machine forecasts. This applies to most of Florida I believe. Have pretty good luck with NWS though. You can click the outlined quadrants just offshore in the vicinity of Melbourne and Tampa. ikitesurf is great for real time wind so that you can update things when you're trying to decide where to go.

Not aware of any events this weekend. Ask again on Friday for an update and we'll see if the forecasts have improved.
