About the tides at Fernandina Beach
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Amelia River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 6.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.
Amelia River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1897. The nearest other station is Cut 1n Front Range, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fernandina Beach, City Front Reach, Amelia River.
