About the tides at Whale Harbor Channel

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 Miami Beach, Government Cut. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.0 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Miami Beach, Government Cut, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1971 to 1972 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Whale Harbor, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.

Predictions are based on Miami Beach, Government Cut.
