About the tides at Old Port Tampa
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.7 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 2.5 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.3 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 21.
Port Tampa, Old Tampa Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1991. The nearest other station is Gandy Bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Old Tampa Bay Entrance (Port Tampa).
