About the tides at Delray Beach

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at ICWW, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

Delray Beach is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance: highs come about 84 min and lows about 127 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is South Delray Beach, 2 mi away.

Predictions are based on Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance.
