About the tides at Rocky Bayou

Tides at Choctawhatchee Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 0.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.1 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 Valparaiso, 3 mi away.
