About the Tides at Okaloosa Island

Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Tuesday, November 10, when the water moves about 1.9 feet. The lowest water is -0.1 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 5:49 AM, and the highest is 1.8 ft on Tuesday, November 10 at 8:07 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
