About the Tides at Estero Island
Estero Island gets two high tides and two low tides most days, and they are not a matched pair. One high or one low each day is clearly bigger than the other. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 2.2 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Tuesday, November 10, when the water moves about 3.0 feet. The lowest water is -0.1 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 7:54 AM, and the highest is 2.9 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 12:34 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA predicts the tides here from years of measurements at station 8725351.
