About the tides at I-295 bridge (west end)

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at I-295 Buckman Bridge, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 0.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 1.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on February 20.

I-295 Buckman Bridge 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 1995. The nearest other station is Orange Park Landing, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 42 min later. For tidal currents, see Mandarin Point.
