About the tides at Manasota

Manasota has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.3 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.8 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Manasota come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Venice Municipal Airport, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 32 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Venice Inlet.
