About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Shell Key Channel, Florida Bay from the KEY WEST station: high tides about 0.78× the height, 20 min earlier; low tides about 0.78× the height, 45 min later.
Two coasts, two personalities: modest 2 to 4 ft semidiurnal ranges on the Atlantic side, mixed tides on the Gulf side, and king tides that flood streets on calm, sunny days.
