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 average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.2 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

Indian Key Anchorage is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
