About the tides at Hillsboro Inlet Marina
Hillsboro Inlet Marina has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.2 ft on January 23 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Hillsboro Inlet Marina 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 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hillsboro Inlet, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fort Lauderdale, New River.
