About the tides at Mullet Key Channel (Skyway)
Mullet Key Channel (Skyway) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Egmont Key, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mullet Key Channel entrance.
