About the tides at Jacksonville

Jacksonville has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 1.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.9 ft on October 9 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 24.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 1995. The nearest other station is Little Pottsburg Creek, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Jacksonville, off Washington St.
