The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1977 until 1981, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Fort Myers (NOAA 8725520), 25.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 55 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Punta Gorda, Charlotte County Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 8.9 mi away.
The tide at Locust Point, Hog Island
Locust Point, Hog Island 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 1.5 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.9 ft, and 1.2 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 0.4 ft below the other low.

About this station
- High tide reaches Locust Point, Hog Island about 8.3 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 Locust Point, Hog Island from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.0 ft above it and mean sea level 1.0 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Naples, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8725745, established 1977, gauge removed 1981. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
