A High Surf Advisory is in effect until 2 PM this afternoon, with waves building to five to seven feet. That's some solid swell folks, so if you're looking to get in the water, this is your window today.

Water temps are sitting in the mid-seventies, which is quite pleasant. Expect mostly sunny skies with just a chance of showers and slight chance of thunderstorms. Winds are coming from the east around 15 miles per hour. High temperature will reach the upper seventies. Lake Worth Pier will see high tide at 6:59 AM and low tide at 1:08 PM. Moving down to Broward County and the Fort Lauderdale beaches, the vibe is a bit different. Waves here are much smaller at two to three feet today, but don't let that fool you. The High Rip Current Risk remains in effect through Wednesday evening, so swimmers need to stay alert.
