About the tides at Apalachicola

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 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on Tuesday, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 21.

Apalachicola is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1967. The nearest other station is Apalachicola River (A&N RR bridge), 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later.
