Small tidal range. The tide here rarely moves the water more than 0.6 ft: wind, air pressure and river flow often change the water level more than the tide does.
Best fishing times in Fort Walton Beach
Solunar periods: the moon overhead or underfoot (major, about 2 h) and moonrise or moonset (minor, about 1 h). Fish often feed more around these times, especially when they match a tide change. How the moon affects tides.
