About the tides at Marco

Marco has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.5 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 22.

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 1930 to 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is McIlvaine Bay, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min later.
