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 1.1 ft between high and low on an average swing this week, so timing matters less than on big-tide coasts. A 2.2 ft swing — Sanibel's biggest this table — runs from the 2:42 AM high on Mon Sep 14 into the next low. Sanibel tops out at 2.5 ft (Mon Sep 14 2:42 AM) and bottoms at 0.3 ft (Mon Sep 14 10:40 AM).
