About the tides at Fort George Island

Fort George Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 4.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 5.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.8 ft.

Fort George Island is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Simpson Creek, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Ft. George River.
