About the tides at Big Torch Key, Harbor Channel

Big Torch Key, Harbor Channel has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.0 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 21.

Big Torch Key, Harbor Channel is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 227 min and lows about 351 min later than there. The nearest other station is Water Keys, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
