About the tides at Dover Bluff
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Dover Bluff, 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 6.6 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 8.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Dover Bluff is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fernandina Beach, Amelia River: highs come about 6 min and lows about 31 min later than there. The nearest other station is Todd Creek entrance, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Jekyll Creek, south entrance.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
