About the tides at Nix Point

Tides at Perdido Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Pensacola. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.1 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Pensacola, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Blue Angels Park, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Pensacola Bay entrance, midchannel.

Predictions are based on Pensacola.
