Times are local (America/New York). Golden hour is the hour before sunset, when the light comes off the water at an angle and the photographs start working.
BoatingFair
Seas near 1.2 ft and 16 mph of wind — fine offshore in a big hull, unpleasant in a small one.
SwimmingExcellent
Water at 87°F with 1.2 ft of surf — warm, and calm enough for children.
FishingGood
Seas 1.2 ft with 16 mph of wind. Comfortable nearshore, workable offshore.

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

The longer view
Today's forecast tells you what to wear. This tells you when to come.
South Beach runs its warmest in summer (June – August), averaging 89°F by day and 79°F overnight. Winter (December – February) is the other end of it: highs around 76°F, lows near 64°F. That is a 25-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
Departures cancel for weather, not for forecasts. Check the operator's own cancellation terms before you book on a marginal day.
These earn us a commission through Viator. Same price for you, and the commission had no hand in the order.
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.
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.
