About the tides at Howe Key, northwest end

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 Key West. On a typical day the water moves about 2.2 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.9 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 2.2 ft, on October 20. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.3 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 21.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Key West, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1974 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Water Keys, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see No Name Key, northeast of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
