About the tides at Lignumvitae Key, west side, Florida Bay

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. Water here rises and falls only about 0.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.2 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on January 21.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Key West, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lignumvitae Key, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
