About NOAA station 8723214
The Virginia Key station is a central Biscayne Bay reference near Miami, channels, causeways, flats, mangroves, inlets, reefs, and nearby Gulf Stream water.
Why people check this station
It supports bay and inlet planning, flat depth, shoreline access, bridge fishing, harbor operations, and comparison of predicted versus observed water levels.
How to interpret the prediction locally
Biscayne Bay wind setup, restricted channels, and inlet exposure can make local water and current differ from the gauge. Offshore seas require a separate forecast.
Tide height is not current speed
A high or low prediction describes the expected water level at the gauge. Current can turn earlier or later in a nearby inlet, river, bridge opening, pass, or channel. NOAA publishes separate current predictions for supported locations, and local weather can move the observed level above or below the astronomical prediction.
Basic station-planning checklist
- Confirm that station 8723214 represents the water you intend to use.
- Note the predicted high and low times, heights, and overall range.
- Check wind, waves, visibility, precipitation, and official warnings.
- Allow for the local offset between the gauge and your exact location.
- Verify actual water, access, navigation, and regulations before departure.
