About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Channel entrance from the PENSACOLA station: high tides about the same height, 99 min earlier; low tides about the same height, 110 min earlier.

Two coasts, two personalities: modest 2 to 4 ft semidiurnal ranges on the Atlantic side, mixed tides on the Gulf side, and king tides that flood streets on calm, sunny days.
