About the tides at Shell Point, 8726468

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.5 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 1.2 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.8 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 21.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Mangrove Point (inside), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Shell Point, 1.1 miles west of.

Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
