About the tides at Snipe Keys, Middle Narrows
Snipe Keys, Middle Narrows has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. 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 1.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.6 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 21.
Snipe Keys, Middle Narrows is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 224 min and lows about 354 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1974 to 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Snipe Keys, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Safe Habor Entrance, Stock Island.
Predictions are based on Key West.
