About the tides at Shell Island

Shell Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.9 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on June 5.

Predictions for Shell Island 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 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Florida Power, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier.
