About the tides at Gulfport

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.1 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 1.3 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.9 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 21.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Long Key, 0.5mi N. of Corey Causeway, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Gulfport, south of.

Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
