Miami, Florida – Beachgoers in South Florida should remain cautious this weekend as a rip current alert stays in effect until 8 p.m. Saturday, with breezy conditions continuing along Miami’s coastline.
According to the National Weather Service, east winds up to 14 mph—with gusts reaching 18 mph—will persist through Saturday evening, creating hazardous surf and stronger-than-normal rip currents along Miami Beach, Surfside, and Key Biscayne. Officials urge swimmers to stay near lifeguard stations and avoid entering the ocean in unguarded areas.
Saturday’s spring weather will otherwise stay warm and inviting, with mostly sunny skies and highs near 80°F. The breeze will ease slightly by Saturday night, setting the stage for a dry and sun-filled Sunday across greater Miami-Dade County. Highs remain steady around 81°F through midweek, with no rain expected and clear, calm nights offering lows in the mid-70s.
Residents and visitors should take advantage of the calm stretch ahead, but remain alert for beach advisories and practice caution near the water. Local roads like the MacArthur Causeway and Collins Avenue may see increased traffic as beachgoers head out in force, especially Sunday afternoon.
