Indian River Inlet runs mixed-semidiurnal water: two highs and two lows daily, unequal by ~0.6 ft between successive highs this week. The tide here is gentle — the water moves about 1.9 ft between high and low on an average swing this week, so timing matters less than on big-tide coasts. A 3.0 ft swing — Indian River Inlet's biggest this table — runs from the 4:47 AM low on Mon Sep 14 into the next high. Indian River Inlet tops out at 3.2 ft (Mon Sep 14 11:29 AM) and bottoms at 0.2 ft (Mon Sep 14 4:47 AM).
