About the tides at Sulphur Point
Tides at Port of Panama City are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 20.
Predictions for Sulphur Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2021 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Alligator Bayou, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min later. For tidal currents, see Bear Point, 0.6nm E of.
