About the tides at Jacksonville, Long Branch
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.2 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 2.4 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.1 ft, comes on October 10, and the smallest, 2.3 ft, on Saturday.
Predictions for Jacksonville, Long Branch come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Phoenix Park, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Terminal Channel (north end).
