About the tides at Lignumvitae Key

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 0.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.3 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 21.

Lignumvitae Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 9 min and lows about 91 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lignumvitae Key, west side, Florida Bay, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
