About the tides at Great Pocket
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Great Pocket, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.7 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is South Point, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 51 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance.
