About the tides at Big Pine Key, west side, Pine Channel
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 0.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 13, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft.
Big Pine Key, west side, Pine Channel is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Big Pine Key, Pine Channel Bridge, south side, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. For tidal currents, see No Name Key, northeast of.
