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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 21.

Key West is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1913. 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.
