I need Tide Info ASAP, thanks

[Nahbrown]

I am having a hard time finding tide information for the Dunlawton bridge on the south side of Daytona Beach ICW. Evidently I got the wrong tide information today because when we approached it the boards were reading 63 1/2 at what I thought was supposed to be low tide. All the reviews on active captain did say that this bridge is correct with its boards so we’re going to need to hit it at low tide to try and get through tomorrow.


When I search for Dunlawton bridge I get port Orange causeway results but then those look to be outside on the coast which is hours different than inside the ICW.



Here is the bridge on Google maps

I got stuck for five days between bridges in Daytona because an onshore wind was preventing the water from flowing back out....it happens there.

The tide now in Ponce De Leon Inlet South, FL is rising. Next high tide is 2:13 am. Next low tide is 8:33 am. Sunset today is 6:06 PM. Sun rise tomorrow is 7:08 AM. The moon phase is Third Quarter tonight.

Looks like the next one at 8 pm is going lower.

Low atmospheric pressure also results in higher water.
As can increased river outflows.


For these reasons, tidal predictions, which assume "standard" conditions, can be quite inaccurate.

> were reading 63 1/2 at what I thought was supposed to be low tide.

So what's was the low tide prediction, and what are the tide and bridge datums?

Oh. My. God. No!

Yes this is for the inlet, I’m thinking our tides are about three hours off of that inlet

We parked for the night. I don’t want to navigate at night but I guess we could get through the bridge if we had to tomorrow night. Then find a place to anchor right away

Im not sure what information you are asking me for, it is 65’ vertical clearance at high water

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE FROM BAIT SHOPS,

the tide at Dunlawton Bridge ( also known as Port Orange Bridge) is 2.5 hours behind the Pounce Inlet.

Sailboat Data has your mast height at 70.21 ft, is this right?

ICW fixed bridges are normally 65ft at center at mean high water, sometimes the 65' is at the outer edges of the channel, not sure how this is marked.

Found this for local knowledge;

Interesting situation to say the least,

First of all our mast was shortened by a previous owner to 64.5

As our first sailboat I decided the “always reefed” was a feature we were ok with.


I actually woke up at 530 am and called a baitshop to learn that the tides were 2.5 hrs behind Ponce inlet.



Thanks!

Sounds good, glad you've got it under control.
