Sanibel runs mixed-semidiurnal water: two highs and two lows daily, unequal by ~0.5 ft between successive highs this week. The tide here is gentle — the water moves about 1.4 ft between high and low on an average swing this week, so timing matters less than on big-tide coasts. A 2.6 ft swing — Sanibel's biggest this table — runs from the 4:05 AM high on Sat Oct 31 into the next low. Sanibel tops out at 2.8 ft (Sat Oct 31 4:05 AM) and bottoms at 0.0 ft (Sat Nov 7 6:12 AM).
