About the tides at Estero Island

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Estero Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Matanzas Pass (fixed bridge) Estero Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Point Ybel, 0.4 mile northwest of.
