About the tides at Gulf Harbors
Gulf Harbors has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Clearwater Beach. The average range is about 2.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 4.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 21.
Gulf Harbors is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Clearwater Beach: highs come about 61 min and lows about 93 min later than there. The nearest other station is Fillman's Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Clearwater Beach.
