About the tides at Alafia River North
Alafia River North has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on Wednesday, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 21, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.9 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 21.
Alafia River North is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay: highs come about 33 min and lows about 61 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is The Kitchen, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 35 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Alafia River ent., 1.2 miles west of.
Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
