Juno Beach Pier Surf Report & Cam
Juno Beach, Florida · South Florida
Juno Beach Pier is a classic Palm Beach County pier break that peels on both sides of the structure, welcoming surfers of all levels. It is most consistent on a NE to E swell with W/SW offshore wind at a mid tide, firing hardest in winter windswell season, though pilings and fishing lines demand caution near the structure.

How It Breaks
Juno Beach Pier is a classic Palm Beach County pier break, and the structure itself organizes incoming swell into peaks on both sides of the pier. It is rated for all skill levels, from first timers on a soft top to more experienced surfers after a reliable session, and the sand bottom keeps things forgiving compared to the reef and rock spots up the coast. Expect a moderate to high crowd whenever it is working, this is one of the more popular pier setups in the area.
Best Conditions
NE to E swell with a W/SW offshore wind and a mid tide is the formula that lines Juno Beach Pier up best. Winter NE windswell is the primary season, with hurricane swell adding extra size later in the year. Surf-forecast and Surfline both rate this stretch as the most consistent wave in north Palm Beach County, and reports note it holds shape through the incoming tide, so it is a dependable check even on an average swell.
Cams and What to Know Before You Go
The Juno Beach Pier Cam streams live on this page, the official camera run by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, with a second verified stream available as backup. Before you paddle out, check the flags and know where the rip currents are running near the pilings. Fishing lines are a real hazard here too, so stay clear of anglers casting from the pier deck and keep your distance from the pilings once you are in the water.
Parking and Local Tips
Parking is a paid lot right at the pier, and it gets busy fast on a good day, so plan to arrive early. The most consistent peaks sit around the sandbars near the pier itself on a NE/E swell with a west wind, but the local tip is simple: do not surf into the pilings, give them a wide berth on both sides.
