About the tides at Port Laudania
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Miami Beach, Government Cut. The average range is about 2.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.4 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
Port Laudania is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 1 min and lows about 11 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Whiskey Creek, south entrance, ICWW, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see South Port, at the terminals.
Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
