About the tides at Southwest Fork (spillway)

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Loxahatchee River Lock, 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.

Southwest Fork (spillway) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Miami Beach, Government Cut: highs come about 52 min and lows about 105 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Southwest Fork, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
