About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Long Shoal, MacDill AFB from the East Bay, Tampa Bay station: high tides about the same height, 18 min earlier; low tides about 0.72× the height, 1 min later.
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.
