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 pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 1.6 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 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.0 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 21.

Duck Key Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 207 min and lows about 297 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1974 to set up these predictions. 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.

Predictions are based on Key West.
