Click the button below for detailed tide information for Palm Beach, Florida, including daily and multi-day tide charts showing predicted high and low tides, tide heights, and exact timing. It also includes visual graphs of tidal movement throughout the day, along with sunrise and sunset times to help plan activities around changing conditions.
Why Tides Matter for Your Dive
Tides are semi-diurnal (2 high tides and 2 low tides daily), meaning you typically get 2 potential dive windows daily.
Best dive conditions occur around slack tide (the period between incoming and outgoing tides), when:
-
Current is minimal
-
Visibility is at its best
Timing is everything:
-
Plan to enter the water 30–45 minutes before high tide
-
Exit shortly after slack to avoid increasing current
The incoming tide (flood tide) is generally preferred for diving here:
-
Brings in cleaner, clearer ocean water
-
Improves visibility significantly compared to the outgoing tide
Outgoing tide (ebb tide):
-
Can reduce visibility due to lagoon runoff
-
Often has stronger currents—less ideal, especially for beginners
Tide height range typically varies from around -0.5 ft to ~3 ft:
-
Larger tidal swings = stronger currents
-
Smaller swings = more manageable conditions
The site is shallow (max depth around 20 feet/6 meters), making it perfect for extended bottom times up to 2 hours on one tank, macro photography, beginners, and snorkelers alike. Divers regularly spot seahorses, octopuses, frogfish, rays, batfish, schools of tropical fish, crabs, starfish, and even features like mini-wrecks, sunken boats, artificial reefs, and shark statues along the snorkel trail.
While the hotel embraces a true “Dive Club” atmosphere—with amenities like pool instruction, a rinse tank, secure gear storage, summer camps, and direct shore access from our private beach, we don't currently operate a full-service dive shop on-site. Instead, we partner with trusted local dive shops to give you access to everything you need. From here, you can enjoy shore dives, boat dives, and night dives with unmatched convenience.

Planning your dive at Blue Heron Bridge? Here are a few of the most common questions to help you make the most of your experience.
When is the best time to dive The Blue Heron Bridge?
Timing is everything here. The magic happens at slack high tide, when the water settles down and visibility really opens up. Plan your dive shortly after high tide at the inlet, and you’ll get Blue Heron Bridge at its absolute best.
Is Blue Heron Bridge good for beginners?
It’s one of the best places to start, hands down. Calm, shallow, and full of life, this is the kind of dive site that builds confidence while still being exciting. Whether it’s your first dive or your fiftieth, you’ll feel right at home here.
What can I expect to see underwater?
This is where things get fun. Blue Heron Bridge is famous for its small-but-mighty marine life—think octopus, seahorses, frogfish, rays, eels, and all kinds of colorful tropical fish. It’s like a treasure hunt… you just never know what you’ll spot next.
Do I need a guide?
You don’t have to—but if it’s your first time here, it’s a game changer. A local guide knows exactly where to look, how to time the dive perfectly, and how to find the hidden creatures most people swim right past.
How close is the dive site to the hotel?
Closer than you think. You’re just a short walk from the water, with easy access to both the beach and the dock. No long drives, no hassle, just gear up and go!
Are boat dives available?
They are—and it’s as easy as it gets. Boats can pick you up right at the property’s dock, giving you access to even more incredible dive sites without ever leaving the area.
Can I learn to dive here?
Absolutely. You can start in our private on-site pool, where everything is relaxed and comfortable, then take those skills straight into open water just steps away. It’s about as seamless as diving gets.
