About the tides at Driftwood Point

Tides at Choctawhatchee Bay Driftwood Point are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 0.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.8 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.2 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.0 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 20.

Predictions for Driftwood Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Santa Rosa, 6 mi away.
