Miami and Fort Lauderdale: the Gulf Stream

South Florida · 28 September 2026 · Model

The Florida Current, the start of the Gulf Stream, running north between Florida and Bimini a few miles off Government Cut and Port Everglades. Ships leaving Miami or Fort Lauderdale for the north ride it; ships bound south keep close inshore to stay out of it.
