About the tides at Channel Two
Channel Two has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 1.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 21.
Channel Two is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 49 min and lows about 42 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Channel Two, west side, Hawk Channel, 0.4 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.
Predictions are based on Key West.
