About the tides at Jacksonville Beach
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.9 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. With a mean range of about 5.1 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.9 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Jacksonville Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1999 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oak Landing, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 45 m later. For tidal currents, see Pablo Creek bascule bridge.
