South Florida Surf Forecast Friday Saturday March 27 28 Sunny Beaches Warm Water Small Waves

Good morning, this is your South Florida surf zone forecast for Friday, March 27th through Saturday, March 28th. Starting up north in Palm Beach, we're dealing with a high rip current risk today that will stick around through this evening. If you're heading out, respect those currents. The good news is we've got some solid sunshine with two to three foot waves, which is pretty nice for this time of year. Water temperature is sitting in the upper seventies, so it's comfortable out there. Expect a slight chance of showers, but nothing that should ruin your day. Winds are light out of the east at five to ten miles per hour. High temperature today around eighty degrees. Low tide at Lake Worth Pier comes at ten twenty-seven in the morning, with high tide around four thirty in the afternoon. The UV index is very high, so definitely grab that sunscreen. Saturday in Palm Beach things calm down considerably. The rip current risk drops to moderate, and those waves back off to one to two feet. You're still looking at sunny skies with another chance of showers, and light to variable winds becoming northeast around ten miles per hour in the afternoon. High temperatures again in the lower eighties. Heading south to Broward County and Fort Lauderdale, we've got moderate rip currents today with smaller one to two foot surf. It's sunny with a slight chance of showers, and the same light east winds. Water temperature is upper seventies, and that UV index is still very high. High temperature around eighty degrees. Low tide at Miami Harbor Entrance at ten thirty-seven AM, high tide around five o four in the afternoon. Saturday in Broward sees the rip current risk staying moderate while the surf gets even smaller at one foot or less. Sunny conditions continue with northeast winds five to ten miles per hour and highs in the lower eighties. In Miami-Dade, conditions are virtually identical to Broward today. Moderate rip currents, one to two foot waves, sunny skies with a slight chance of showers, light east winds, and that upper seventies water temperature. Saturday follows the same pattern with moderate rip currents, tiny one foot or less waves, sunny weather, and northeast winds. Finally, heading down to Collier County around Naples and Marco Island, we've got the calmest conditions of the forecast area. Low rip current risk today with essentially flat one foot or less surf. It's sunny with that slight chance of showers and light northeast winds in the morning becoming southwest in the afternoon. Highs in the lower eighties. Saturday continues with low rip currents, flat conditions, sunny skies, and light northwest winds. Bottom line for your Friday and Saturday: excellent beach days across South Florida. The surf is generally small, but if you're in Palm Beach you've got the biggest waves of the bunch. Rip currents are the main hazard, especially up in Palm Beach today, so always swim near lifeguards and know how to escape a rip if you get caught in one.
