About the tides at Jacksonville, Long Branch
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.1 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on January 24.
Predictions for Jacksonville, Long Branch 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 1928 to 2004 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Phoenix Park, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Terminal Channel (north end).
