About the tides at Loggerhead Key

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 mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Garden Key, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Southwest Channel.
