Where Fleming Key, north end is
Fleming Key, north end sits at 24.5917° N, 81.7950° W on the Florida Keys, where the Atlantic meets Florida Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, at Key West, FL, in Mainland Monroe County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2001 until 2001, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Key West (NOAA 8724580), 2.6 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 123 min later than there.
The tide at Fleming Key, north end
Fleming Key, north end 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 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.4 ft, and 1.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.3 ft and the lower low sits 0.2 ft below the other low. 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 Fleming Key, north end about 4.4 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 Fleming Key, north end from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.7 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Key West, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8724571, established 2001, gauge removed 2001. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
