About the tides at Clapboard Creek
Clapboard Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. On a typical day the water moves about 3.6 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 3.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.9 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Clapboard Creek 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 Fulton, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Blount Island, East of.
