About the tides at Hayden Roberts Bay
Hayden Roberts Bay 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 St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on Wednesday, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 21, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 21.
Hayden Roberts Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay: highs come about 103 min and lows about 85 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1977 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Siesta Key, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Sarasota Bay, south end, bridge.
Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
