About the tides at Panacea
Panacea has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.6 ft on August 31, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 21.
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 1975 to 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wakulla Airport, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. For tidal currents, see Four Mile Point, St. Marks River.
