Where Eleven Mile, St. Vincent Sound is
Eleven Mile, St. Vincent Sound sits at 29.7067° N, 85.1533° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 8 mi southeast of Port St. Joe, FL. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1977 until 1978, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Apalachicola (NOAA 8728690), 10.4 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 80 min later than there.
The tide at Eleven Mile, St. Vincent Sound
Eleven Mile, St. Vincent Sound 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 1.6 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.7 ft, and 1.1 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 0.4 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Northern Gulf tides are diurnal, one high and one low most days with ranges of 1 to 2 ft, so wind and river stage move the water as much as 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 Eleven Mile, St. Vincent Sound 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 0.9 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 Pensacola, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8728786, established 1977, gauge removed 1978. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
