About the tides at Content Keys
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 2.9 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.6 ft, on October 8.
Content Keys is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Raccoon Key, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min later. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.
