About the tides at Kemp Channel Viaduct
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 0.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 12, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.
Kemp Channel Viaduct is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Cudjoe Key, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 25 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.
