About the tides at Bird Key

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 0.8 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 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.5 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 21.

Bird Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 21 min earlier and lows about 63 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1974 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shark Key, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min later. For tidal currents, see Safe Habor Entrance, Stock Island.

Predictions are based on Key West.
