About the tides at Panama City

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. 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, 1.7 ft, comes on Wednesday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.

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 1973. The nearest other station is Courtney Point, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 32 min later. For tidal currents, see Redfish Point.
