About the tides at Whale Harbor

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Windley Key, Hawk Channel, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. Water here rises and falls only about 1.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, on Sunday.

Whale Harbor is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Whale Harbor Channel, 0.2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Long Key, drawbridge east of.
