About the tides at Beach Creek ent.
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Beach Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. The range is large, about 5.9 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.6 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Beach Creek ent. is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fernandina Beach, Amelia River: highs come about 0 min and lows about 4 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1987 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cut 1n Front Range, 1 mi away. For tidal currents, see Range A2, Lb 29, Cumberland Sound.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
