Where North Palm Beach is
North Palm Beach sits at 26.8267° N, 80.0550° W on Florida's Atlantic coast, at North Palm Beach, FL. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Lake Worth Pier (ocean) (NOAA 8722670), 14.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 25 min later than there. The nearest weather station is President Donald J. Trump International Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 10.2 mi away.
The tide at North Palm Beach
North Palm Beach has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 3.2 ft, and 2.8 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Florida's Atlantic tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day, with ranges of 2 to 5 ft that shrink inside the lagoons.
About this station
- High tide reaches North Palm Beach about 0.9 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 4.9 ft on Oct 25, 1973.
- Lowest on record: -1.5 ft on May 22, 1971.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Government Cut, Miami Harbor Entrance, station 8723178. High tide comes about 17 min earlier and low tide about 15 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 1.22 times the reference.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at North Palm Beach from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.2 ft above it and mean sea level 1.6 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 2.6 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Miami Beach, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8722557, established 1970, gauge removed 1973. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
