About the tides at Siesta Key

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 mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on Tuesday, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.8 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hayden Roberts Bay, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 46 min later. For tidal currents, see Big Sarasota Pass.
