About the tides at Duck Key Point

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft.

Duck Key Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Boca Chica Key, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min later. For tidal currents, see Safe Habor Entrance, Stock Island.
