About the tides at Fort Lauderdale

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Ft. Lauderdale, Andrews Avenue Bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The average range is about 2.0 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 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.1 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on July 4.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1970 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Everglades, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 44 min earlier.
