Big Pine Key, west side, Pine Channel tide times

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 pattern follows the reference station at Key West. 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 1.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.3 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 21.
