About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Vaca Key-Fat Deer Key bridge from the KEY WEST station: high tides about 0.95× the height, 71 min earlier; low tides about 0.71× the height, 36 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.
