About the tides at Pumpkin Key

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.0 ft. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.8 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.2 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Pumpkin Key come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wednesday Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Caesar Creek, Biscayne Bay.
