About the tides at Spring Bayou
Spring Bayou 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 Clearwater Beach. The average range is about 2.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.1 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.1 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 21.
Spring Bayou is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Clearwater Beach: highs come about 57 min and lows about 87 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is North Fork, Anclote River, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later.
Predictions are based on Clearwater Beach.
