About the tides at Farmdale
Farmdale usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at Pensacola, Pensacola Bay. The mean range is small, about 1.3 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 1.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 30, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 21.
Farmdale is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Pensacola, Pensacola Bay: highs come about 16 min and lows about 59 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1934 to 1991 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Allanton, 1.0 mi away.
Predictions are based on Pensacola, Pensacola Bay.
