Local knowledge

Juno's pier bars catch more of the northeast winter energy than anywhere south of it — the Bahamas' shadow starts stealing swell just down the coast. That makes this the last consistently surfable outpost of Florida's lower east coast and the default winter call for Palm Beach surfers.

FAQ

What swell direction works best at Juno Beach Pier?

E swell hits Juno Beach Pier straight on. The spot picks up anything arriving from NNE (30°) through SSE (165°); swell from outside that window is blocked by the coastline.

What wind is best at Juno Beach Pier?

W wind blows offshore and grooms the surf. E wind is straight onshore and chops it up; light wind under ~5 kn is fine from any direction.

When is the best time of year to surf Juno Beach Pier?

Late summer through fall is prime: hurricane season (August-October) sends the year's best long-period swell, and fall-winter nor'easters keep it pumping. Summer runs smallest outside of tropical systems.

What's the best tide at Juno Beach Pier?

Mid. Tide predictions for the spot's NOAA station are in the forecast above.

Is Juno Beach Pier good for beginners?

Yes on typical days; NE winter swells add real push.

How warm is the water at Juno Beach Pier?

Roughly 70°F at its late-winter coldest to about 86°F in late summer. In practice that means a spring suit in winter and trunks or a rash guard in summer. The forecast above shows the current water temperature.

How far out is this forecast reliable?

The wave model has real skill to about 10 days, and we cut the chart there instead of padding it with guesses. Days 1-3 are solid, 4-7 useful, 8-10 a trend heads-up - and we publish our measured error against NOAA buoys, updated continuously.
