Palm Beach Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Palm Beach

Palm Beach sits on a barrier island where the Atlantic shelf drops off unusually close to shore, so kingfish, sailfish, and big jacks are within sight of the beach. Lake Worth Inlet — the Port of Palm Beach cut — moves an enormous volume of water and holds snook, tarpon, and jacks year-round, and the Lake Worth Pier reaches into that same water. The NOAA gauge on the pier is the best local read on water temperature.

Local tip: The inlet's outgoing tide is the tarpon and snook window; the pier fishes through the tide with bait around.
