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 mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft.

Anna Maria Key is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
