About the tides at Virginia Key

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Biscayne Bay, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Water here rises and falls only about 2.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.6 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on Sunday.

Predictions for Virginia Key come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Key Biscayne Yacht Club, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min later. For tidal currents, see Lummus Island, SW corner.
