About the tides at Key Colony Beach

Key Colony Beach has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on June 5.

Predictions for Key Colony Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fat Deer Key, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 h 20 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Moser Channel, between Molasses and Pigeon Keys.
