🌤️ Mostly sunny, 29°C at South Beach🌧 dry
Miami Beach, Key Biscayne and Fort Lauderdale face east onto the open Atlantic: small surf on an east wind, rip currents after a front, and in summer, sargassum. The Keys sit behind the Florida Reef, so their few sandy beaches, like Bahia Honda and Smathers, rarely get real waves; their worry is seaweed and, on a north wind, murky water on the Gulf side.
East and southeast winds dominate; a cold front in winter brings a day or two of north wind.
