About the tides at Clearwater Beach
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.9 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 2.7 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.4 ft. Neap tides follow on November 18, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.7 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 21.
Clearwater Beach is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1973. The nearest other station is Clearwater, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. For tidal currents, see Clearwater Pass, 0.2 mi. NE of Sand Key.
