About the tides at Johns Pass
Johns Pass 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 St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. The mean range is small, about 1.4 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 29, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.
Johns Pass is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay: highs come about 134 min and lows about 124 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Madeira Beach Causeway, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 42 min later. For tidal currents, see Johns Pass Bridge, 0.3nm north of.
Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
