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 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 today, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 13, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft.

Lignumvitae Key is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
