Although the cooler weather resulted in fewer beachgoers in Miami Beach on Sunday, the surfers knew the breeze would leave conditions ripe for surfing.

“It doesn’t faze us,” said Angel Rodriguez, one of several surfers in the water in Miami Beach. “We’re die-hards when it comes to getting out on the water. And all we care about is catching good waves.”

Marcela Criado and her family were in South Florida visiting from Argentina. Criado said she didn’t expect the 40- and 50-degree weather.
