Dive conditions in Jupiter

Deep ledge runs just offshore, plus the inlet drift for big snook and tarpon. Strong Gulf Stream influence: pelagics push close in when conditions align.

Before you dive, open the app for the swell, wind, tide, water temperature, current and a visibility estimate for Jupiter, FL.

Typical water visibility

Summer visibility around Jupiter is commonly reported in the 40 to 90 ft range, a community guidance estimate, not a measurement. Rain, river discharge, swell mixing, and seasonality can shift real conditions dramatically day to day.

The app shows a model estimate of today's visibility here, with a confidence figure.

What Submarius shows for Jupiter

This page reads Jupiter at 26.93°N, 80.09°W, in Southeast Florida. Open the same point in the app for:

  • A 0 to 10 rating. For diving at Jupiter today, from Rough to Prime, and you can tap any factor to see why.
  • Best 3 hour window. The three hours in the next 24 that score best.
  • Tide. Rising, falling or slack, the next high or low, and a 24 hour curve.
  • Wind. Speed and direction, with gusts.
  • Waves and swell. Wave height and swell, with the second and third swell by the hour.
  • Water temperature. With the air temperature underneath.
  • Current. Drift in knots and the next slack, from a regional model, so it's offshore drift, not your entry.
  • Visibility estimate. A model estimate with a confidence figure, not a measurement.
  • Weather warnings. National Weather Service warnings for this spot and its marine zone.
  • 8 day forecast (Pro). Days 2 to 8, hour by hour.

Reefs and wrecks near Jupiter

The reefs and wrecks layer in the app marks charted wrecks, reefs and obstructions around Jupiter, where sources have them. Tap one for the seabed depth beside it (an estimate where no chart reports one), the least depth over the structure where a chart sounding exists, and today's conditions at that spot. The structures are merged from NOAA nautical charts and other public sources, so coverage is densest in US waters. It's a Pro map layer.

Safety in the water

Every safety tool in Submarius is free. With Safety Watch you set a "back by" time and pick who watches. If you don't check in by then, the server alerts them by push or email, even if your phone is dead. It needs a free account and never contacts the coast guard.

When Spearfishing is your mode, a shark awareness card also lists the shark species recorded in the area and any community sightings from the last 48 hours.

Check Jupiter before you head out

Today's conditions, safety tools and trip recording are free. Pro adds the 8 day forecast, the Pro map layers, cam playback and offline areas for $12.99 a month or $99 a year, or $149 once (US prices).
