About the tides at Adams Key
Adams Key has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.
Adams Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance: highs come about 61 min and lows about 68 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Billys Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 7 m later. For tidal currents, see Caesar Creek, Biscayne Bay.
Predictions are based on Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance.
