About the tides at Shell Mound

Shell Mound 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 2.7 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 3.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.9 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on December 24.

Predictions for Shell Mound come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cedar Key, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later.
