About the tides at Soldier Key

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Biscayne Bay, 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 1.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.

Soldier Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 30 min and lows about 76 min later than there. The nearest other station is Ragged Keys, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Fowey Rocks Light, 1.5 miles SW of.

Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
