About the tides at Long Key Bight

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 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft.

Long Key Bight is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Long Key Lake, 0.4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 32 m later. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.
