Southeast Florida Beach Conditions Monday: High Rip Currents Palm Beach, Moderate Risk South, Sunny Skies Thunderstorms

Good morning, this is your Monday surf report for Southeast Florida beaches brought to you by the National Weather Service in Miami. Let's start up north in Palm Beach where we're looking at some seriously elevated rip current conditions. A high rip current risk remains in effect through this evening, so if you're heading to the beach today, please exercise extreme caution when entering the water. The surf is running three to five feet, which is the largest we'll see along the coast today. Water temperatures are in the upper seventies, so a light wetsuit might feel good. Expect partly sunny skies with a moderate chance of showers and thunderstorms developing, so keep an eye on that sky. Northeast winds at ten to fifteen miles per hour. High tide at Lake Worth Pier happens around ten twenty in the morning with low tide around four twenty-two in the afternoon. Moving south to Broward County and the Fort Lauderdale beaches, we're dialing back the rip current threat to moderate, though life-threatening currents are still possible in the surf zone. Surf heights drop to one to two feet here. Water's a bit warmer in the lower eighties. Again, partly sunny with moderate thunderstorm chances and northeast winds around ten to fifteen miles per hour. High tide at Miami Harbor Entrance is ten fifty-three in the morning, low tide at four forty-six in the afternoon. The same moderate rip current risk and similar conditions extend into Miami-Dade County beaches. One to two foot surf, lower eighties water temperature, and the same chance of afternoon storms. Sunrise is at six forty-one, sunset at seven fifty-four. Out in Collier County around Naples and Marco Island, things calm down significantly. A low rip current risk means conditions are much more manageable for swimmers. Surf is minimal at one foot or less. It'll be mostly sunny with a moderate chance of scattered thunderstorms. Northeast winds around ten miles per hour. Temperatures in the lower eighties. High tide at Naples Bay is around one forty-nine in the afternoon. Looking ahead to Tuesday, rip current risks remain high in Palm Beach and moderate everywhere else, so swimmers need to stay vigilant. Surf heights generally decrease to two to three feet in Palm Beach and one to two feet down to Miami. Thunderstorm chances drop to low across the board, and we're expecting mostly to partly sunny skies. Winds shift to the east at five to ten miles per hour, becoming lighter. Water temperatures stay in the upper seventies to lower eighties depending on location. Keep in mind that even during low risk periods, dangerous rip currents often form near groins, jetties, reefs, and piers, so always respect the ocean. UV index remains high, so sunscreen is a must today. Have a great Monday at the beach.
