About Florida Keys Tides

Small range, big consequences — every inch counts in the Keys

The Florida Keys have some of the smallest tidal ranges in the continental US — typically just 1–2 feet. But in waters that are often only a foot or two deep, that difference is everything. The Keys sit between the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, and tidal patterns vary between the ocean side and the bay side, sometimes flowing in opposite directions at the same time.

With 55 stations from Key Largo to Key West, TideSwell gives you the most complete picture of tidal conditions throughout the Keys — layered over nautical charts showing exactly how shallow the water is wherever you're headed.

FAQ

Florida Keys tide questions

What are the tides like in the Florida Keys?
The Florida Keys have unusually small tidal ranges — typically just 1–2 feet. The Keys sit between the Atlantic and Florida Bay, and tidal patterns can be mixed and irregular depending on which side of the islands you're on. Because the range is small, even minor tidal differences matter greatly for navigation in shallow waters.
Why do tides matter in the Keys if the range is so small?
In the Florida Keys, water depth is often just a foot or two in the backcountry flats. A 1-foot tidal change can mean the difference between navigating safely and running aground. Knowing the current tidal state is essential for boaters, anglers on the flats, and anyone venturing into the backcountry.
Does TideSwell cover Key West tides?
Yes. Key West is one of the stations included in the Florida Keys region. TideSwell covers 55 stations across the full length of the Keys, from Key Largo in the north to Key West and beyond.
