About the tides at Anna Maria Key, city pier
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.0 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 21.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Anna Maria Key, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Passage Key Inlet (off Bean Pt.).
Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
