Swell period3.5s
  • BoatingGood

    Seas around 0.7 ft, wind 11 mph. Comfortable on a larger boat, a little bouncy on a skiff.

  • SwimmingExcellent

    Water at 87°F with 0.7 ft of surf — warm, and calm enough for children.

  • SnorkelingExcellent

    Seas at 0.7 ft usually mean clear water and an easy entry. Water 87°F.

  • FishingExcellent

    Seas 0.7 ft, wind 11 mph on a 4s swell — offshore is on the table.

What to do with the weather you have got

The forecast is only useful if it changes the plan. These are the Miami pages that match each kind of day.

Indoor and under-cover plans that do not depend on the sky clearing.

On the water and in it — the things a calm, warm day is actually for.

Miami's climate, season by season

Today's forecast tells you what to wear. This tells you when to come.

Miami runs its warmest in summer (June – August), averaging 90°F by day and 77°F overnight. Winter (December – February) is the other end of it: highs around 77°F, lows near 63°F. That is a 27-degree spread between the hottest afternoon and the coldest night of a typical year, which is why the same packing list does not work twice here. Visitor numbers track it closely — winter is full, fall is quiet — so the cheapest weather is rarely the most comfortable weather.

Book around it

Nightlife suit conditions like today's

Departures cancel for weather, not for forecasts. Check the operator's own cancellation terms before you book on a marginal day.

Some links below go to Viator, our booking partner. We earn a commission on bookings made through them — at no extra cost to you, and with no influence on what we recommend.

Shared departures

Per-seat pricing, fixed departure times, and other people on the boat. For one or two of you this is almost always the right call.

Private and small-group

Priced for the boat rather than the seat, and often the cheaper answer for four or more once you divide it out. Worth checking against the shared price above before you assume private means expensive.
