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. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.8 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 Gandy Bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min later. For tidal currents, see Old Tampa Bay Entrance (Port Tampa).
