About the tides at Donald Ross Bridge

Donald Ross Bridge 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 Miami Beach, Government Cut. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.4 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

Donald Ross Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 20 min and lows about 50 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lake Worth Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see North Turning Basin.

Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
