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 5.1s swell period. Wind is SE at 12mph. Conditions are rated Very 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 1.2ft NE wind swell swell at 5s, a 0.9ft ENE secondary swell at 9s. 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 Thursday from 5 PM to 8 PM with 1ft waves, a 5.2s 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.

The prime season at Juno Beach is fall, when swell direction, wind patterns, and water temps line up most consistently. Outside the peak season you can still score, but you'll need to watch the forecast closely for the right windows.
Common hazards at Juno Beach include rip currents, jellyfish, sharks, sea turtle nesting zones, crowded lineups during good swells. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Juno Beach forecast uses NOAA GFS and other weather models combined with spot-specific bathymetry to calculate breaking wave heights. Short-range (1-3 day) forecasts are most reliable; extended forecasts show general trends. We also verify our offshore swell predictions against NOAA buoy measurements daily — see our accuracy page for those swell-verification metrics (buoys measure open-water swell, not breaking surf size).
