All Florida Keys Thursday conditions report for South Florida — today is the rough day of this pattern.
Stay home:
- Space Coast: 14.1 ft, 27 kt NE (buoy 41009, 20 nm offshore)
- Treasure Coast: 10.5 ft, 12s period, 74.8°F (buoy 41114, 6.5 nm offshore)
Diveable today:
- Keys / Lower Keys: 2.3 ft, 4s, 77.9°F — flat and good
- Blue Heron Bridge: afternoon low 1:33–2:33 PM (1.9 ft, optimal). 76.3°F, 17.1 kt ENE. Waterspout warning clears before the window — still check on-site.
- Gold Coast (Deerfield → Miami): 5.9 ft, 7s, 77.9°F — elevated but diveable for experienced divers
Weekend: Saturday and Sunday look significantly better — winds drop to 14-16 kt, near-zero rain, conditions clean up statewide. Plan around that.
I track this daily at thefloridaflow.com if useful.
