About the tides at Ocean Drive bridge
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 4.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on Sunday, with a range of 4.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 2.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.5 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 2014 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Ingram Thorofare, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Corson's Inlet Entrance.
