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 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 2.9 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 Wakulla Airport, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min later. For tidal currents, see Four Mile Point, St. Marks River.
