About the tides at Molasses Key Channel

Molasses Key Channel 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, 1.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, tomorrow.

Molasses Key Channel is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Money Key, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min later. For tidal currents, see Moser Channel, between Molasses and Pigeon Keys.
