About the tides at Hernandez Point
Hernandez Point usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.3 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.
Predictions for Hernandez Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lora Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier.
