South Florida Surf Forecast High Rip Current Risk Sunday Three to Four Foot Waves Palm Beach Broward Miami Dade

About this episode

# SURF ZONE FORECAST REPORT

Good morning, this is your Sunday surf zone forecast for South Florida brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami.

A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK remains in effect through this evening for Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties. If you're planning to hit the water today, please exercise extreme caution and stay aware of the powerful currents that will be present in the surf zone.

Let's start with today's conditions across the Atlantic beaches. Expect surf heights of three to four feet along the Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade coastlines, with slightly smaller one-foot or less waves down in Collier County. East winds will blow around ten to fifteen miles per hour, keeping things breezy but manageable.

The water temperature is hovering in the upper seventies, so a light wetsuit or spring suit might be nice if you're sensitive to cooler water. The air temperature will top out around eighty degrees under mostly sunny skies, though there is a moderate chance of showers and thunderstorms developing throughout the day. Keep an eye on the radar if you're planning an extended session.

Speaking of sun, the UV index is very high today, so slather on that sunscreen generously and reapply frequently, especially if you're getting wet. The sun is no joke out there.

Now here's what you need to know about the tides. Along Lake Worth Pier in Palm Beach, high tide arrives at ten forty-seven in the morning with low tide at four fifty-three in the afternoon. Over at Miami Harbor, expect high tide at eleven twenty in the morning and low tide at five sixteen in the afternoon. If you're down in Collier County, check out the North End of Naples Bay where low tide hits at nine fourteen in the morning and high tide comes in at two twenty-nine in the afternoon.

Looking ahead to Monday, conditions will shift noticeably. The rip current risk drops to moderate, which is still something to respect, but not quite as intense as what we're seeing today. Surf heights will diminish significantly, dropping to just one to two feet up north and around one foot or less in Collier County.

Monday's weather will be partly sunny with showers likely and a chance of thunderstorms, so the wet weather pattern continues. Highs will reach the lower eighties with lighter east winds around five to ten miles per hour. The moderate thunderstorm potential remains, so keep monitoring conditions if you're planning a beach day.

Whether you're a seasoned surfer or just thinking about wading out, respect the ocean today. That high rip current risk is there for a reason. If you do find yourself caught in a rip current, stay calm, swim parallel to the shore, and don't fight the current. Stay safe out there and enjoy these South Florida waves responsibly.
