About the tides at Key West

Key West has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 7, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Key West, south side, White Street Pier, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 53 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Ft. Taylor, 0.6 mile N of.
