Where Howard Park Causeway is
Howard Park Causeway sits at 28.1533° N, 82.8017° W on Florida's Gulf coast, at Tarpon Springs, FL. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Clearwater Beach (NOAA 8726724), 12.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 21 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Clearwater Beach, FL, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 12.3 mi away.
The tide at Howard Park Causeway
Howard Park Causeway has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.8 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 3.0 ft, and 2.1 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.4 ft and the lower low sits 0.6 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.
About this station
- High tide reaches Howard Park Causeway about 4.6 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- NOAA predicts tides here from Clearwater Beach, station 8726724. High tide comes about 14 min later and low tide about 28 min later than there.
- High tide heights run about 1.11 times the reference.
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 Howard Park Causeway from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.0 ft above it and mean sea level 1.6 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.9 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 Anclote River, Fl gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8726904, established 1975, gauge removed 1975. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
