About the tides at Indian Rocks Beach (Coastal)
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Clearwater Beach. The mean range is small, about 1.7 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 2.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.3 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 21.
Indian Rocks Beach (Coastal) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Clearwater Beach: highs come about 17 min and lows about 3 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 1973 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Indian Rocks Beach (inside), 0.3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 36 m later. For tidal currents, see The Narrows (Indian Rocks Beach Bridge).
Predictions are based on Clearwater Beach.
