About the tides at Valparaiso
Valparaiso usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 0.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 21.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rocky Bayou, 3 mi away.
