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 pattern follows the reference station at Key West. 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.1 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.5 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 21.

Kemp Channel Viaduct is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 47 min and lows about 124 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1974 to set up these predictions. 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.

Predictions are based on Key West.
