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 2.5 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 2.8 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.3 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on December 24.
Predictions for Ocean Ridge come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Boynton Beach, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier.
