Miami Beach Forecast High Rip Current Risk Through Friday Sunny Skies Upper Seventies
About this Episode
Good afternoon from the National Weather Service in Miami. Here's your surf zone forecast for Thursday through Friday.
If you're planning a beach day along the Atlantic coast, we need to talk about rip currents. A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK remains in effect through Friday evening for Palm Beach, and through Friday morning for Broward and Miami-Dade counties. These are life-threatening rip currents that are likely in the surf zone, so exercise extreme caution if you venture into the water.
Starting with the rest of today, expect mostly cloudy skies across southeast Florida with highs in the upper seventies to around eighty degrees. Surf heights will be modest, ranging from around two feet in Palm Beach down to one to two feet for Broward and Miami-Dade. Water temperatures are pleasant, sitting in the mid seventies. East winds will be light to moderate, around ten to fifteen miles per hour depending on your location.
The good news is there's no thunderstorm or waterspout risk today, so at least you won't have to worry about storms rolling in while you're at the beach.
Moving into Friday, conditions improve slightly but the rip current threat persists. Expect partly sunny skies with just a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures will be similar, reaching around eighty degrees for most areas. Winds will become lighter, shifting to the southeast at five to ten miles per hour.
Here's where we see a notable difference by location. The rip current risk will decrease to MODERATE for Broward and Miami-Dade counties, but Palm Beach will maintain that HIGH RISK through Friday evening. Surf heights remain one to two feet across the Atlantic beaches.
Over on the Gulf Coast in Collier County, conditions are considerably calmer. Today's rip current risk is LOW with very small surf, one foot or less. Partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of showers, and highs around eighty degrees with light south winds. Friday looks even better with mostly sunny skies, continued light winds, and highs in the lower eighties. The Gulf remains your safer bet if you're looking to avoid rip currents.
Bottom line: respect the rip currents out there, especially along the Atlantic side. If you do go in the water, stay alert, swim near lifeguards, and know how to escape a rip current by swimming parallel to shore. Have a safe and enjoyable beach day.
