When is the next minus tide at LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, FLA. BAY, FL?
The next minus tide at LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, FLA. BAY, FL is -0.0 ft at 12:48 PM on Thu, Jul 9. Minus tides drop below the MLLW zero line and expose the most shoreline — the best windows for tidepooling, clamming, and beachcombing.
How accurate are tide predictions for LOWER MATECUMBE KEY, FLA. BAY, 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.
