About the tides at Wiggins Pass
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 Naples. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on August 31, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on December 24.
Wiggins Pass is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Naples: highs come about 44 min and lows about 59 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cocohatchee River, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later.
Predictions are based on Naples.
