About this episode
Surfers and beach lovers, grab your sunscreen and get ready for an epic coastal weekend across South Florida!
Palm Beach is heating up with a moderate rip current risk today, so stay alert. Waves will be gentle at 1 to 2 feet, perfect for beginners and those looking to catch some mellow rides. Expect mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the low 80s and light winds shifting east around 10 mph. Water temperatures are sitting comfortably in the mid 70s, making for a sweet swim.
But hold onto your boards - Saturday brings a high rip current risk with surf heights jumping to 2 to 3 feet. Southeast winds will be cranking at 10 to 15 mph, promising more dynamic conditions for intermediate and advanced wave riders.
Heading south to Fort Lauderdale and Miami, the scene looks similar. Today offers calm 1-foot waves with moderate rip current risks. The UV index is blazing very high, so don't forget that sun protection. Northeast winds will dance around 5 mph before shifting southeast.
Saturday continues the trend with a high rip current risk and waves climbing to 1 to 2 feet. Consistent southeast winds will keep things interesting.
Collier County beach lovers can expect the most mellow conditions. Low rip current risks and tiny waves under 1 foot mean it's more of a sunbathing and paddle day. Temperatures will hover around 80 with light winds.
Bottom line: Stay safe, watch those rip currents, and enjoy the beautiful South Florida surf!
