About the tides at Captiva Island (outside)

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.1 ft on August 30, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on December 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1965 to 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Captiva Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 26 m later. For tidal currents, see Captiva Pass.
