About the tides at Matecumbe Harbor

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 0.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 29, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.5 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 21.

Matecumbe Harbor is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 25 min earlier and lows about 23 min later than there. The nearest other station is Channel Two, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
