About the tides at Egmont Key
Egmont Key has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.9 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on December 24.
Predictions for Egmont Key come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1991 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mullet Key Channel (Skyway), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Tampa Bay Entrance (Egmont Channel).
