Water level records from 37 locations in Florida Bay are used to quantify semidiurnal, diurnal, fortnightly, monthly, semiannual and annual tidal constituents. Semidiurnal and diurnal waves enter primarily from the Gulf side of the bay, but also through tidal channels that connect Florida Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. M2 amplitudes in the northwest corner of the bay are 35 cm; amplitudes in tidal channels along the southeast side of the bay are 15-20 cm, S2 amplitudes decrease along the western boundary of the bay from 11 cm in the northwest corner to 2 cm at the southern end. Highest S2 amplitudes in tidal channels are 4-6 cm. K, and 0, constituents have highest amplitudes of 15 and 12 cm in the northwest corner of the bay. This manuscript may be cited as: Smith, N. P.
