About the tides at Jekyll Island Marina
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.9 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. With a mean range of about 6.8 ft, the shoreline here changes a lot between high and low water. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 7.4 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 8.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on January 23.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Raccoon Key Spit, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Jekyll Creek, south entrance.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
