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 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Manasota come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Venice Municipal Airport, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 24 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Venice Inlet.
