About the tides at Palma Sola Bay (North)
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.
Palma Sola Bay (North) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Perico Bayou, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Cortez, north of bridge.
