High Rip Current Risk Alert Palm Beach Miami Broward Through Thursday Warm Sunny Conditions Expected

Good morning, this is your surf zone forecast for Wednesday, April 15th through Thursday evening, brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami. Let's start up north in Palm Beach where beachgoers need to be aware of a HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK that will remain in effect through Thursday evening. Today you're looking at two to three foot waves with mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the upper seventies. Water temperatures are hanging out in the upper seventies as well, so it'll feel pretty comfortable out there. Winds will be light, coming from the east around ten miles per hour. The UV index is extreme, so don't forget your sunscreen. High tide at Lake Worth Pier happens early this morning at six fifty-five, with low tide coming around one oh four in the afternoon. Moving down to Broward County and the Fort Lauderdale beaches, we've got that same HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK in place. Surf heights today will be two to three feet with mostly sunny conditions and highs in the upper seventies. Water temperatures are slightly cooler here in the mid seventies. East winds will be a bit stronger today, running ten to fifteen miles per hour. Again, extreme UV, so protect that skin. High tide at Miami Harbor Entrance is at seven thirty-eight this morning, low tide at one twenty-six in the afternoon. Down in Miami-Dade, conditions are very similar to Broward. HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK continues, with two to three foot surf today and mostly sunny skies. Temperatures and water conditions mirror what we're seeing just to the north, with highs in the upper seventies and water temps in the mid seventies. East winds ten to fifteen miles per hour. Extreme UV Index. High tide at seven thirty-eight this morning, low tide at one twenty-six in the afternoon. Over on the Gulf side in Collier County near Naples and Marco Island, things are much calmer. Rip current risk is LOW, and you're only looking at one foot or less of surf. It'll be sunny with patchy smoke, highs in the lower eighties, and light east winds five to ten miles per hour. The UV is still extreme, so sun protection is still recommended. Now let's look ahead to Thursday. In Palm Beach, that HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK stays in place with two to three foot surf continuing. It'll be mostly sunny with highs around eighty degrees and lighter east winds around ten miles per hour. Water temps still in the upper seventies. Broward and Miami-Dade will see surf heights decrease to one to two feet on Thursday while maintaining that HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK. Mostly sunny skies, highs around eighty degrees, and east winds around ten miles per hour. Up in Collier County, it stays quiet with LOW rip current risk and one foot or less of surf. Sunny skies, highs in the mid eighties, and winds shifting from east in the morning to west in the afternoon. Much more relaxed conditions on that side of the state. The main takeaway here is that life-threatening rip currents are likely in the surf zones from Palm Beach down throu This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
