Where Bokeelia, Charlotte Harbor is
Bokeelia, Charlotte Harbor sits at 26.7067° N, 82.1633° W on Florida's Gulf coast, at Bokeelia, FL. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1972 until 2024, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Captiva Island, FL (a Hohonu community gauge), 13.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 39 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Placida, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 11.3 mi away.
The tide at Bokeelia, Charlotte Harbor
Bokeelia, Charlotte Harbor has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.4 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.7 ft, and 1.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Florida's Gulf coast runs mixed tides: two unequal highs a day near Tampa Bay, trending toward one high a day along the Big Bend and the Panhandle.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Bokeelia, Charlotte Harbor from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.7 ft above it and mean sea level 0.9 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.6 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Fort Myers, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8725541, established 1972, gauge removed 2024. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
