About the tides at West Palm Beach Canal

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. The average range is about 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.4 ft.

West Palm Beach Canal is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Lake Worth Icw, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see North Turning Basin.
