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. 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, 1.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on October 13.
Lignumvitae Key, west side, Florida Bay is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. 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.
