About the tides at Ocean Ridge
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.5 ft, on October 7.
Predictions for Ocean Ridge come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Boynton Beach, 1 mi away.
