About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Sugarloaf Key, north end, Bow Channel from the KEY WEST station: high tides about 1.29× the height, 217 min later; low tides about 0.75× the height, 320 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.
