About the tides at Lynn Haven
Tides at North Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Pensacola, Pensacola Bay. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Pensacola, Pensacola Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Deer Point Lake, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Point, West Bay.
Predictions are based on Pensacola, Pensacola Bay.
