About the tides at St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.6 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 2.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 3.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.0 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Tampa Bay is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1946. The nearest other station is Point Pinellas, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port of St. Petersburg approach, marker 'S'.
