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, 2.2 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Sulphur Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Alligator Bayou, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 37 min later. For tidal currents, see Bear Point, 0.6nm E of.
