Where does this tide data come from?

From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. Big Torch Key, Harbor Channel is a subordinate station: NOAA derives its times and heights from the reference station Key West with fixed corrections. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation. This page is not for navigation.
