About the tides at Port Manatee
Port Manatee has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Cockroach Bay, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Piney Point, 0.6 mile NNW of.
