About the tides at Atlantic Beach
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Atlantic Beach, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. On a typical day the water moves about 4.9 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.7 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. The nearest other station is Pablo Creek, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 42 m later. For tidal currents, see Pablo Creek bascule bridge.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
