About the tides at Kingsley Creek
Kingsley Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The range is large, about 5.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 7.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 6.0 ft.
Kingsley Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Fernandina Beach, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 27 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kingsley Creek, highway bridge.
