Florida Tide Charts

Looking for a simple Florida tide chart? Find today’s high and low tide times for 19 Florida coastal cities — from Jacksonville to Miami to Key West to Pensacola — all from live NOAA predictions, no app or signup.

Florida is really two tide worlds in one state. On the Atlantic coast, tides run semidiurnal — two high tides and two low tides a day, with ranges up to about 6 feet near Fernandina Beach and St. Augustine. On the Gulf coast, most of Florida runs a diurnal or mixed pattern: often just one high and one low tide a day, with a small 1–2 foot range that a steady wind can push around more than the tide itself. Our Gulf Coast tides guide and Southeast Atlantic guide cover the science; the city pages below give you today’s numbers.

Every Florida tide chart on this page pulls straight from NOAA’s official predictions. Pick your city below for today’s exact high and low tide times plus the 7-day curve — handy whether you’re fishing the flats in Tampa Bay, boating through the Keys, or planning a beach day on the Space Coast. New to reading them? Our guide to reading tide charts walks through it in minutes.

One Florida-specific tip: tide times can differ dramatically across the state on the same day. Miami’s high tide may land hours away from Pensacola’s, and on the Gulf side a passing front can move water more than the moon does. Always check the chart for your exact spot, not a statewide guess.

Florida Tide Charts FAQs

What time is high tide in Florida today?

It depends on your city — high tide times vary across Florida and shift about 50 minutes later each day. Pick your city from the list above for today’s exact high tide time from live NOAA predictions, or open the tide map to find your nearest station.

Where can I find a simple Florida tide chart?

Right here: every city link above opens a simple Florida tide chart with today’s highs and lows plus the 7-day curve, free with no account. Our tide chart guide explains how to read one if you’re new to it.

Are Florida tides the same every day?

Nearly, but not quite — each day’s tides run about 50 minutes later than the day before, and heights grow and shrink with the moon phase (see spring vs neap tides). The pattern type stays the same: two highs and two lows on the Atlantic side, often just one of each on the Gulf side.

Does the Gulf side of Florida have smaller tides?

Yes — much smaller. Most of Florida’s Gulf coast runs a diurnal pattern with only 1–2 feet of range, while the Atlantic side near Fernandina Beach can see 6+ feet. On the Gulf side, a steady wind can genuinely move water more than the tide on a given day, which matters for shallow-water fishing and boating.

What’s the best tide for fishing in Florida?

Moving water is what matters — the couple of hours around a tide change, especially near the mouths of bays and passes, is prime time. Our best tides for fishing guide covers timing bites around the tide, moon phase, and barometric pressure.

When are king tides in Florida?

The first king-tide window of the season runs October 25–30, 2026, bringing the year’s highest high tides and sunny-day flooding to low spots on both coasts. See our king tides guide for the full 2026–2027 schedule and safety tips.
