Sanibel 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 1.4 ft between high and low on an average swing this week, so timing matters less than on big-tide coasts. A 2.7 ft swing — Sanibel's biggest this table — runs from the 1:10 PM high on Wed Jul 29 into the next low. Sanibel tops out at 2.7 ft (Thu Jul 30 1:39 PM) and bottoms at 0.0 ft (Wed Jul 29 8:59 PM).

Moving-water windows — Sanibel

Sanibel mid-swing times below mark predicted peak flow on its 1.4 ft average cycle (why moving water matters):

• Wed Jul 29: 4:43 AM — 0.8 ft ebb · 10:11 AM — 1.7 ft flood · 5:04 PM — 2.7 ft ebb · 11:51 PM — 1.7 ft flood
• Thu Jul 30: 5:18 AM — 0.8 ft ebb · 10:45 AM — 1.7 ft flood · 5:35 PM — 2.6 ft ebb

Sanibel numbers: NOAA CO-OPS #8725362 (Tarpon Bay, Sanibel Island), 5.9 km off Sanibel center; this open-water pick beat 15 closer-in candidates. With only 1.4 ft of average swing at Sanibel, wind and pressure can move the real water line more than the tide itself does — treat these times as the schedule, not the whole story.
