South Florida Surf Forecast: Two to Three Foot Waves in Palm Beach, High Rip Current Risk Through Weekend

Good morning, this is your Friday surf forecast for South Florida. We're tracking a High Rip Current Risk in effect through the weekend along the Atlantic coast, so please use caution if you're heading out to the beach. Starting up north in Coastal Palm Beach, we're looking at two to three foot surf with mostly sunny skies today. There's a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms, but nothing significant expected. Water temps are sitting in the mid seventies, which feels pretty good this time of year. High temperatures reaching the mid seventies as well. Northeast winds running ten to fifteen miles per hour. Head high tide at Lake Worth Pier happens at nine thirty-six in the morning, with low tide coming around three forty-three in the afternoon. That High Rip Current Risk remains in effect through Sunday evening up there, so swimmers should stay alert. Moving south to the Broward County beaches around Fort Lauderdale, the surf drops down to one to two feet today. We're still looking at that mostly sunny pattern with just a slight chance of showers. North winds around fifteen miles per hour. High tide at Miami Harbor Entrance comes in at ten nineteen in the morning, low tide at four oh-five in the afternoon. The High Rip Current Risk is in effect through Saturday evening in Broward. Down in Miami-Dade, conditions are pretty similar. One to two foot waves, mostly sunny skies with that small shower chance. Same north winds around fifteen miles per hour. High tide at ten nineteen, low tide at four oh-five. High Rip Current Risk through Saturday evening here as well. If you're heading to the Naples area down in Collier County, things are much calmer. We're looking at one foot or less of surf with sunny skies all day. North winds around fifteen miles here too. The good news is the rip current risk is only low down in Naples, so conditions are much more manageable. Low tide at the North End of Naples Bay happens at eight thirty-eight in the morning, with high tide coming at two oh-six in the afternoon. Looking ahead to Saturday, things are staying pretty consistent. Palm Beach will still see two to three foot surf with sunny skies and north winds five to ten miles per hour. The rip current risk remains High through Sunday evening. Down in Broward and Miami-Dade, surf drops to one foot or less with sunny conditions and lighter north winds around ten miles per hour. High Rip Current Risk continues through Saturday evening in both areas. Down in Naples, we stay sunny with minimal surf and that low rip current risk. Water temperatures remain in the mid seventies across the board, and UV index is moderate, so remember your sunscreen. Sunrise is around seven twenty-three to seven twenty-four, and sunset around seven thirty-two to seven thirty-nine depending on your location. Bottom line, if you're planning to get in the water this weekend, be aware of those strong rip currents, especially up in the Palm Beach and Broward areas.
