About the tides at Pensacola Beach Pier

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, 2.4 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.

Predictions for Pensacola Beach Pier come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2021 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fishing Bend, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 37 m later. For tidal currents, see Pensacola Bay entrance, midchannel.
