About the tides at Bird Key

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 0.9 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 tomorrow, with a range of 1.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.

Bird Key is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
