About the tides at Cape Romano
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, on October 8.
Cape Romano is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Coon Key, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min later.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
