About the tides at Fulton
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at St. Johns River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock). The average range is about 3.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. 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. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 4.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 18, when the range shrinks to 2.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.
Fulton is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock): highs come about 24 min and lows about 40 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Clapboard Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Blount Island, East of.
Predictions are based on Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock).
