Beach & bay conditions
Today's tide swings for the Intracoastal Waterway plus surf and water temperature at Fort Lauderdale Beach and Silver Strand.
Low tide = tide pools
Anything under 1 ft opens up the rocky shelf south of the Fort Lauderdale Beach Pier for tide pooling.
Bay side stays calm
On windy afternoons cross to the bay side of Silver Strand — flat water for kayaks and paddleboards.
Water temp reality check
Under 65°F most people want a spring suit; May–June gray days can feel colder than the number.
