The Tampa Bay High Tide Schedule

Author Tampa Bay's Morning Krewe

Idalia is now a hurricane and although it looks like the eye will go north of the Tampa Bay area we need to worry about the high tide times and flooding. Storm Surge will be the Tampa Bay area’s biggest concern. Idalia is expected to be a problem Tuesday night to Wednesday afternoon. Thursday is also listed below just in case. The National Hurricane Center have stated that the areas around Tampa Bay and south could see between 3 and 9 feet of storm surge. The tides are different for each area of Tampa Bay and you can see the chart of the high tides Wednesday morning below.

What Are Tides?

National Geographic has an entire article dedicated to tides. They describe them as, “The alternating advance and retreat of seawater along a coastline is called a tide. High tide is when water advances to its furthest extent onto the shoreline. Low tide is when it recedes to its furthest extent. Some freshwater rivers and lakes can have tides, too. A high tide that is significantly higher than normal is called a king tide. It often accompanies a new moon and when the moon is closest to the Earth. The moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth and the Earth’s rotational force are the two main factors that cause high and low tides.”
