About the tides at Palma Sola Bay (South)

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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.7 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, on October 8.

Palma Sola Bay (South) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Palma Sola Bay (North), 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cortez, north of bridge.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
