Juno Beach is a laid-back beach break on Florida's East Coast, situated just north of Palm Beach along a stretch of wide, sandy coastline. The spot picks up northeast and east swells that roll in from the Atlantic, producing soft, crumbly waves that are generally waist- to chest-high and well-suited for beginners and intermediate surfers looking to progress. Its proximity to a popular sea turtle nesting area and a relaxed local vibe make it a uniquely charming destination on the South Florida surf circuit.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Juno Beach is 1-2ft with a 4.3s swell period. Wind is ESE at 11mph and conditions are rated Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Juno Beach is 1-2ft, produced by a 0.7ft NE primary swell at 7s, a 0.3ft NE secondary swell at 11s, a 0.3ft ENE tertiary swell at 13s, a 1.9ft E wind swell swell at 4s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
Based on the current 5-day forecast, the best window to surf Juno Beach is Tuesday from 6 AM to 9 AM with 3ft waves, a 5.1s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Juno Beach works best with a E swell and W winds. Offshore winds groom the face of the wave, while onshore winds turn it sloppy. Cross-offshore conditions usually produce the cleanest shape.
Tide plays a big role at Juno Beach. Mid tide works for most beach breaks, while reef and point breaks often prefer higher or lower stages. Use the tide chart above to line up your session with the swell peak.

Extended forecasts show general trends. See the forecast accuracy card above for per-spot and regional performance metrics.
