Best sheepshead spots today →
Scores conditions for each fish, not where they are or when a run starts. Water temperature is today’s reading applied to the whole week, so a cold front further out won’t show here until the water follows. Temperature ranges are rules of thumb for Florida inshore water; the snook range is from published research.
About Boynton Inlet
Boynton Inlet, formally the South Lake Worth Inlet, is short and narrow, and it squeezes a huge volume of Lake Worth Lagoon through a very small gap. That makes it one of the most reliable snook and tarpon spots on the Gold Coast and one of the trickier ones to run — the outgoing tide rips, and a standing chop builds fast against an east wind. Just outside, the reef line sits within a few hundred yards of the beach, holding mutton snapper, permit and kingfish on an unusually short run.
What this camera is good for
- Whether the cut is safe to run right now
- How hard the outgoing is ripping
- Anglers working the catwalk and the rocks
- Water color over the close-in reef

Common questions
- Is the Boynton Inlet camera live?
- Yes, though it is a still image rather than video. The page pulls the camera's newest frame automatically.
- Does it cost anything to watch?
- No. Salty Forecast is completely free — no ads, no account, no paid tier, and nothing on this page is behind a sign-up.
- What are the tides at Boynton Beach today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Boynton Beach are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Boynton Beach, Lake Worth. Tide state changes what the beach looks like on camera — at low water the beach is at its widest.
- Why does the camera look hazy or dark?
- Live cameras sit outdoors: rain on the lens, salt spray, fog and low light all affect the picture. Night views are lit only by whatever is nearby. If the feed is down entirely, that is the operator's camera rather than this page — the conditions above still update.
