About the tides at Indian Key Anchorage
Indian Key Anchorage 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 Key West. The mean range is small, about 1.9 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 2.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 30, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.5 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 21.
Indian Key Anchorage is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 85 min and lows about 54 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1970 to 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Matecumbe Bight, 0.9 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 7 m later. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.
Predictions are based on Key West.
