About the tides at Saddlebunch Keys, Channel No. 4
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 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, 1.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on October 8.
Saddlebunch Keys, Channel No. 4 is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Saddlebunch Keys, Channel No. 5, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Safe Habor Entrance, Stock Island.
