About the tides at Sugarloaf Key, northeast side, Bow Channel
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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.8 ft, on October 8.
Sugarloaf Key, northeast side, Bow Channel is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Park Channel Bridge, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 0 m later. For tidal currents, see Loggerhead Key, East of.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
