About the tides at Ramrod Key, Niles Channel 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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, today.

Ramrod Key, Niles Channel Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Summerland Key, Niles Channel Bridge, 0.8 mi away. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.
