Where East Arsenicker, Card Sound is
East Arsenicker, Card Sound sits at 25.3733° N, 80.2900° W on the Florida Keys, where the Atlantic meets Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, about 3 mi north of North Key Largo, FL. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1971 until 1972, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Virginia Key, Biscayne Bay (NOAA 8723214), 26.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 144 min later than there.
The tide at East Arsenicker, Card Sound
East Arsenicker, Card Sound has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.0 ft, and 0.9 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. For the water around it: The Keys sit on a tidal seam: the ocean side has two semidiurnal highs a day near 2 ft, while the bay side is smaller and more diurnal, so tides on opposite sides of one key can differ by hours.
About this station
- High tide reaches East Arsenicker, Card Sound about 3.6 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
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 East Arsenicker, Card Sound from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.0 ft above it and mean sea level 0.5 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Cutler, Biscayne Bay, Fl gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8723465, established 1971, gauge removed 1972. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
