About the tides at North Captiva Island
North Captiva Island 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on November 26, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 21.
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 1977 to 1989 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Redfish Pass, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Captiva Pass.
