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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.5 ft, on Monday.

Predictions for Bald Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Wakulla Airport, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see St. Marks River approach.
