About the tides at Big Coppitt Key

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

Big Coppitt Key is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Shark Key, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 3 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Safe Habor Entrance, Stock Island.
