About the tides at Big Pine Key, north end

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, on October 8.

Big Pine Key, north end is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Annette Key, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min earlier. For tidal currents, see No Name Key, northeast of.
