About the tides at South Fork

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at South Fork, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 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, 1.2 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on Sunday.

South Fork is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Stuart, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier.
