About the tides at Bald Point

Bald Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.1 ft on August 31 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on December 24.

Predictions for Bald Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 2023 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wakulla Airport, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see St. Marks River approach.
