About the tides at Okaloosa Island

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 20.

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 2021 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shalimar, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 24 m later.
