About the tides at Courtney Point
Courtney Point usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. 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 on October 30, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.1 ft on October 2, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 20.
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 in 2021 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Panama City, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Redfish Point.
