About the Tides at Hillsborough River Entrance
Hillsborough River Entrance 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 2.6 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 3.1 feet. The lowest water is -0.1 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 9:29 AM, and the highest is 3.0 ft on Thursday, November 12 at 2:27 AM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
