About the Tides at Beach Channel (Bridge)

Beach Channel (Bridge) gets two high tides and two low tides most days, both about the same size. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 5.0 feet.

Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Sunday, November 8, when the water moves about 6.5 feet. The lowest water is -0.2 ft on Saturday, November 7 at 12:05 AM, and the highest is 6.4 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 6:52 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.

NOAA predicts the tides here from years of measurements at station 8517137.
