The affected ports include Key West, Miami, Everglades and Palm Beach.
Port condition x-ray was set at 8 Tuesday morning.
Matthew, still a powerful Category 4 hurricane, was pummeled Haiti early Tuesday. A hurricane warning is in effect for Cuba's eastern provinces and the southeastern, central and northwestern Bahamas.
A hurricane watch was issued for Florida, from Deerfield Beach to the Volusia/Brevard county line.
Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Matthew may weaken slightly due to land interaction but warm waters and a favorable upper-level wind patter should allow it to remain a very strong hurricane during the next couple of days.
