>>691610>at times, a 2m/s flow within a few miles of the coastIt's mainly this area of FL. Between Miami and West Palm Beach pretty much. If you are ever near Ft. Lauderdale, just go to the beach, go like 6' deep into the water, and float on your back or on a raft. Relax for 10 minutes, and look back at the shore. You will be 100yds to the north if the current is going. And that is when you are right by the beach. I can't imagine being in a kayak or a boat with a blown engine a few miles out.
