About the tides at Ragged Keys
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Ragged Key #3, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Miami Beach, Government Cut. The mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.
Ragged Keys is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 43 min and lows about 78 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1981 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Boca Chita Key, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Fowey Rocks Light, 1.5 miles SW of.
Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
