About the tides at Clearwater

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Clearwater Beach. 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. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Clearwater is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Clearwater Beach: highs come about 28 min and lows about 50 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Clearwater Beach, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Clearwater Pass, 0.2 mi. NE of Sand Key.

Predictions are based on Clearwater Beach.
