About the tides at Panama City Beach

Tides at Panama City Beach are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.3 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1989. The nearest other station is West Bay Creek, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 23 m later. For tidal currents, see Long Point, West Bay.

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.
