About the tides at Amelia City
Amelia City has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. With a mean range of about 5.4 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.9 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 6.3 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 3.9 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.9 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kingsley Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Kingsley Creek, highway bridge.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
