About the tides at Anna Maria Key

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. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.8 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.0 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Anna Maria Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay: highs come about 147 min and lows about 212 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1990 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Perico Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 44 min later. For tidal currents, see Cortez, north of bridge.

Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
