The Naples (Outer Coast) tide station is one of NOAA's Florida prediction points, and its high/low timing shapes how local boaters plan their day. It's the reference station boaters lean on around Naples, Everglades City, Marco Island. On the flats, the difference between a rising and a falling tide can make or break the bite — so read the chart below before you launch.

Reading the tide
A rising ("flood") tide pushes bait and gamefish up onto the flats and into the mangroves; a falling ("ebb") tide pulls them back toward channels and drop-offs. The strongest current runs midway between high and low — often the most productive window.
