About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Sugarloaf Key, Pirates Cove from the KEY WEST station: high tides about 0.59× the height, 48 min earlier; low tides about 0.75× the height, 101 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.
