About the tides at West Bay Creek

Tides at West Bay Creek West Bay 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, 1.9 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.

Predictions for West Bay Creek come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 2021 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Panama City Beach, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 23 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Long Point, West Bay.
