About the tides at Blount Island Bridge
Blount Island Bridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 3.4 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 on October 10, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.6 ft.
Blount Island Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Dame Point, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Dames Point, 0.23 n.mi. ESE of.
