About the tides at Kings Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on December 25, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on November 25.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Twin Rivers Marina, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 56 min earlier.
