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. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on October 8.

Howe Key, northwest end is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
