Juno Pier is a classic Florida - East Coast beach break located in Juno Beach, Palm Beach County, where the pier structure helps create semi-consistent peaks on either side when Atlantic swells roll in. Waves here tend to be mellow and fun, typically in the waist-to-chest range, making it a popular spot for beginners and longboarders looking to log miles in warm Florida waters. The pier itself acts as a natural groyne, occasionally shaping up slightly more organized peaks, especially during fall hurricane season swells that send energy up the Florida coastline.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Juno Pier 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 Pier is 1-2ft, produced by a 1.2ft NE wind swell swell at 5s, a 0.9ft ENE secondary swell at 9s, a 0.8ft NNW wind swell swell at 5s, a 0.4ft ESE wind swell swell at 2s. 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 Pier is Tuesday from 7 AM to 10 AM with 1ft waves, a 8.2s swell period, and conditions rated Poor - Fair. Check the hourly forecast for updates as conditions can shift.
Juno Pier 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 Pier. 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 Pier 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 Pier include pier pilings, fishing lines and hooks, rip currents, jellyfish, sharks, crowds near pier. Always check conditions before paddling out, respect local etiquette, and never surf alone if you're unfamiliar with the break.
Our Juno Pier 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).
