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 1.7 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 11:48 AM high on Tue Sep 8 into the next low. Sanibel tops out at 2.8 ft (Wed Sep 9 12:40 PM) and bottoms at 0.1 ft (Tue Sep 8 6:58 PM).
