About the tides at Upper Matecumbe Key, west end, Hawk 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. The pattern follows the reference station at Key West. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 21.
Upper Matecumbe Key, west end, Hawk Channel is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Key West: highs come about 60 min earlier and lows about 14 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1975 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Shell Key Channel, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.
Predictions are based on Key West.
