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 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Panama City Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is West Bay Creek, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 3 m later. For tidal currents, see Long Point, West Bay.
