About the tides at St. Lucie
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance. The mean range is small, about 0.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 1.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.6 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.
St. Lucie is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance: highs come about 41 min and lows about 106 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1972 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is North Beach Causeway, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Turning Basin.
Predictions are based on Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance.
