About the tides at Tropical Homesites Landing
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. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.6 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 21.
Tropical Homesites Landing is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay: highs come about 8 min earlier and lows about 22 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1965 to 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Galt Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Point Ybel, 0.4 mile northwest of.
Predictions are based on St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay.
