About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for West Tampa, Hillsborough River from the East Bay, Tampa Bay station: high tides about the same height, 17 min later; low tides about 0.66× the height, 27 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.
