About the tides at Cedar Heights
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Cedar Heights, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.1 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Cedar Heights come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jacksonville, Navy Fuel Depot, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Drummond Point, channel south of.
