About the tides at Sugarloaf Key

Sugarloaf Key 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 0.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Monday, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.5 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 21.

Sugarloaf Key is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 48 min earlier and lows about 101 min later than there. The nearest other station is Cudjoe Key, Pirates Cove, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 38 m later. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.

Predictions are based on Key West.
