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 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.4 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 21.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1960 to 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Garden Key, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see Southwest Channel.
