Forecast
As of:
West to west-southwest offshore wind is the clean lane, southeast swell is the core trigger, and east or east-southeast energy can also produce useful surf.
Palm Beach stays surfable across all tides, with medium tide usually the easiest shape.
Use the ferry or bus into Palm Beach and expect a busy lineup.
South end is the friendliest pocket, while the central beach can hold stronger waves when the sandbars line up.
The beach-front parking, parking at either end, and street parking in between make it easy to reach but crowded on good days.
Rips are the main hazard.
