The South Florida Water Management District's Tidal Outlook for the forecast period of October 27, 2025 through November 2, 2025, is now available. Tidal water levels along Florida's southeast coast may remain below the National Weather Service (NWS) "Minor Flooding" threshold but may approach or exceed that threshold toward the end of the forecast period. In the Florida Keys, tidal levels may exceed the NWS "Minor Flooding" threshold at high tide early in the forecast period before subsiding by mid- to late week. Along the southwest coast, tidal levels may remain below the NWS "Minor Flooding" threshold.
These forecasts are based solely on predicted astronomical tides and regional ocean-atmospheric conditions and do not account for rainfall. View the daily forecast HERE.
SFWMD is continuing efforts for the monitoring, operational response and documentation of these events. These weekly updates are intended to be informational for interested stakeholders and the public. If conditions warrant, additional updates may be issued throughout the forecast period.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration predicts high tides will peak along South Florida's coast during the following days(peaks vary by location). During these periods, high tides may exceed one or more of the NWS thresholds.
To help guide water management decisions, SFWMD launched a weekly Tidal Outlook Forecast, published every Monday, to report conditions - such as wind strength and direction, ocean currents - that can cause tides to occur higher or lower than predicted at certain locations. Automated king tide forecasts are now available on the SFWMD's Resilience Metrics Hub for seven tidal stations along South Florida's east and west coasts: Virginia Key, Port Everglades, Lake Worth, Key West, Vaca Key, Naples/Naples Bay North, Fort Myers.
