Astronomical Low Tide in Florida
Every astronomical low tide event the National Weather Service has filed in Florida, year by year, with the most significant episodes. Unusually low water from tides and offshore wind that caused impacts.

The most significant
Ranked by deaths, injuries, damage and size together.
- Funnel Clouds and Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, September 13 to 15, 2012A coastal trough broke down along the NE Florida coast and moved inland as the east coast sea breeze moved inland during the mid afternoon.
- Tropical Storm and Storm Surge in Florida, August 29, 2023The center of Hurricane Idalia passed about 165 nautical miles to the west of Key West on a northward path through the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm-force wind gusts occurred in squalls which passed mainly through portions of the Lower Florida Keys.
- Coastal Flood and Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, September 27 to 30, 2019Higher than normal astronomical tides associated with the new moon phase caused coastal flooding along portions of the east coast. This flooding was related to salt water inundation with sea water over-topping sea walls, docks, boat ramps and coming up out of storm drains.
- Coastal Flood and Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, September 27 to 30, 2023Coastal hazard potential increased through the week as high astronomical spring tides coincided with a persistent onshore flow pattern.
- Coastal Flood and Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, September 21, 2020Surface high pressure centered over New England will shifted south which continued strong northeasterly flow over the region. A more stable and drier airmass was in place which produced less widespread shower activity moving onshore compared to previous couple of days.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, March 8, 2008Very low astronomical tides were observed on Saturday, March 8, 2008 due to a combination of strong offshore winds and the new moon phase. At least 2 National Ocean Service tide stations had record low tide measurements.
- High Wind and Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, January 11, 2012A strong wake low developed north and west of a vigorous squall line moving east through the Florida Straits. High south and southwest winds developed across the Upper Florida Keys, producing isolated wind damage.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, March 6, 2013Strong offshore flow in the wake of a cold front combined created low astronomical tides.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, January 3, 2014Strong NW flow trailing a cold front combined with low astronomical tides created Blow-Out tides along and offshore of the SE Ga and NE Fl coastline.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, February 19, 2015Low blow-out tides occurred during the early morning hours under strong offshore flow and along with low astronomical tide.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Florida, April 27 to 30, 2026Long-term drought combined with generally dry conditions to provide an environment where any fires that start could spread and linger.
