About the tides at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Lauderdale-By-the-Sea, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 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 2.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.9 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Lauderdale-by-the-Sea come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hillsboro Inlet (ocean), 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fort Lauderdale, New River.
