About the tides at Arena Cove

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 4.0 ft between high and low. 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, 6.7 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.3 ft, on Saturday.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1978. The nearest other station is Green Cove, 20 mi away.
