The tide at Wetappo Creek, East Bay
Wetappo Creek, East Bay has a diurnal tide: usually one high and one low a day, with the daily rhythm shifting about 50 minutes later each day and fading near the moon's equatorial crossing. This month's predictions average 1.0 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.6 ft, and 1.5 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.0 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 Wetappo Creek, East Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.7 ft above it and mean sea level 0.8 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 0.6 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 Allanton, East Bay, Fl gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8728973, established 1976, gauge removed 1976. 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.
