About the tides at Floyd Creek
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. With a mean range of about 6.6 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 9.1 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 5.1 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 9.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.8 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Todd Creek entrance, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cabin Bluff, Cumberland River.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
