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 Bakers Haulover Inlet
Bakers Haulover Inlet is narrow, shallow at the mouth and genuinely infamous: when an outgoing tide meets an east swell it stands up into short, steep walls that regularly stop boats cold, and it has a devoted online following of people who watch them try. For anglers it is an excellent inlet in spite of that — tarpon through spring and summer, snook on the rocks, permit and kingfish just outside — and Haulover Park gives land-based access to both jetties.
What this camera is good for
- Whether the inlet is running rough before you commit to it
- Which way the tide is moving against the wind
- Boat traffic and how they're handling the cut
- Sea state just outside the jetties
The rough days everyone films are the outgoing tide against an east wind — the tide stage and wind direction below tell you which one today is.

Common questions
- Is the Bakers Haulover Inlet camera live?
- Yes — it streams on the operator's own site, and the link on this page always opens whichever stream is currently running.
- 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 Haulover Inlet today?
- Today's high and low tide times for Haulover Inlet are on the tide chart page, drawn from the NOAA station at Haulover Pier, N. Miami Beach. 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.
