About the tides at Fort Myers

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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on October 7.

Predictions for Fort Myers come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Cape Coral Bridge, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier.
