- High tide in ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL today (Saturday, August 22) is at 4:30 AM (1.8 ft) and 5:33 PM (1.9 ft), local station time (EDT). Heights are measured in feet above MLLW.
- What time is low tide in ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL today?
- Low tide in ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL today (Saturday, August 22) is at 11:11 AM (0.7 ft) and 11:44 PM (1.2 ft), local station time (EDT).
- How big are the tides in ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL this week?
- Over the next seven days the water at ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL spans 2.1 ft — from a low of 0.3 ft at 3:34 PM on Fri, Aug 28 to a high of 2.4 ft at 9:56 PM on Fri, Aug 28.
- When is the next minus tide at ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL?
- No minus tides (lows below the MLLW zero line) are predicted at ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL in the next seven days. The biggest minus tides cluster around full and new moons, especially near the summer and winter solstices.
- How accurate are tide predictions for ALLIGATOR REEF LIGHTHOUSE, FL?
- Predictions come from NOAA harmonic analysis of long-term water level records at this station, which is why tide tables can be published years in advance. Astronomical timing is very reliable, but actual water level can run higher or lower with sustained wind, barometric pressure, and river flow — Perigee overlays live observed water levels on the chart above so you can see today's difference.
