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, 2.0 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Panama City come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Courtney Point, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Redfish Point.
