October 1–2 – Hurricane Joaquin indirectly caused a period of high tides along Florida's east coast, due to its interaction with a developing low near the state drawing moisture from the hurricane. Tides reached 4.88 ft (1.49 m) in Fernandina Beach.
The dates of spring tides and neap tides, approximately seven days apart, can be determined by the heights of the tides on the classic tide tables: a small range indicates neaps and large indicates springs. This cycle of tides is linked to the phases of the moon, with the highest tides (spring tides) occurring near full moon and new moon.
South Florida is made up of a lot of low-lying areas near the water, and as the sea rises, king tides will reach farther and farther inland. It overwhelms storm drains, stops traffic routes and ...
King Tides and an unusually high low tide will raise sea levels along Florida’s Gulf Coast just as Hurricane Idalia hits. King Tides and an unusually high low tide will raise sea levels along ...
(The tides do propagate northward on the east side and southward on the west coast, as predicted by theory.) The exception is at Cook Strait where the tidal currents periodically link high to low water. This is because cotidal lines 180° around the amphidromes are in opposite phase, for example high water across from low water at each end of ...
A red tide bloom that arrived on Southwest Florida shores last fall continues to drift up and down the Gulf Coast. But conditions improved for many local beaches this week as a more concentrated ...
At 345 feet (105 m) above mean sea level, Britton Hill in northern Walton County is the highest point in Florida and the lowest known highpoint of any U.S. state. [3] Much of the state south of Orlando is low-lying and fairly level; however, some places, such as Clearwater, feature vistas that rise 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 m) above the water.
