About the tides at Fishing Bend

Tides at Santa Rosa Sound are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 1.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Pensacola Beach Pier, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 12 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Pensacola Bay entrance, midchannel.
