About the tides at Indian Rocks Beach (inside)
Indian Rocks Beach (inside) 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 Clearwater Beach. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Monday, with a range of 2.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.4 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.
Indian Rocks Beach (inside) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Clearwater Beach: highs come about 79 min and lows about 92 min later than there. The nearest other station is Indian Rocks Beach (Coastal), 0.3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 36 m earlier. For tidal currents, see The Narrows (Indian Rocks Beach Bridge).
Predictions are based on Clearwater Beach.
