About the tides at Sand Key Lighthouse

Sand Key Lighthouse has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.5 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 22.

Predictions for Sand Key Lighthouse 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 1970 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Key West, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min later. For tidal currents, see Main Ship Channel Entrance.
