This live camera streams real-time ocean conditions 24/7, giving you an unobstructed view of surf height, water clarity, and beach crowd levels.

The Boynton Inlet (South Lake Worth Inlet) is one of Palm Beach County's most active boating passes, connecting the Intracoastal to the Atlantic just north of Delray Beach. The live camera here shows real-time swell conditions representative of the Delray Beach coastline — ocean swells, wind chop, and current inlet activity. The Boynton Inlet area is prized for its natural reef system, making it one of the best shore-diving and snorkeling spots in South Florida. Watch for sailfish, tarpon, and manta ray activity near the inlet mouth, especially in late fall and winter.

Delray Beach typically sees 1–3 foot Atlantic swells during calm weather, with larger surf arriving during cold fronts (November–April) and tropical disturbances. For detailed surf forecasts, Surfline and Magic Seaweed provide Delray Beach-specific predictions updated every few hours. The Boynton Inlet cam on this page also gives a good read on swell direction and period.
When is sea turtle nesting season at Delray Beach?
Sea turtle nesting season at Delray Beach runs from March 1 through October 31. Loggerhead turtles (the most common species) begin nesting in May, with peak activity in June and July. Green turtles and occasional leatherbacks also nest here. Beach lighting is dimmed during nesting season and public nest surveys are conducted by Ecological Associates International. Hatchlings typically emerge July through October. Watch for pink nest stakes marking active nests along the beach.
Is Delray Beach good for snorkeling?
Yes — Delray Beach offers good nearshore snorkeling, particularly at the Boynton Inlet reef system just to the north. The natural reef runs parallel to the shore in 5–25 feet of water and hosts colorful coral, tropical fish, and occasional sea turtle encounters. Water visibility typically ranges from 15–40 feet depending on weather and surge conditions. The calm summer months (June–August) generally offer the best visibility, though the water is warm year-round (75–87°F).
