About the tides at Kings Ferry
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.4 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. The average range is about 2.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.8 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.8 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 23.
Kings Ferry is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fernandina Beach, Amelia River: highs come about 245 min and lows about 249 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Little St. Marys River, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 16 m earlier.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
