About the tides at Pigeon Key

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 1.8 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft.

Pigeon Key is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Pigeon Key, north side, Florida Bay, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min later. For tidal currents, see Moser Channel, between Molasses and Pigeon Keys.
