About the tides at Gandy Bridge

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. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

Gandy Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Old Port Tampa, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Gandy Bridge, east channel.
