About the tides at Fleming Key
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on Tuesday, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 1.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on November 25.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sigsbee Park, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fleming Key, North of.
