About the tides at Wakulla Airport
Wakulla Airport has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.2 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.3 ft, on Monday.
Predictions for Wakulla Airport come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Panacea, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
