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 pattern follows the reference station at Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. The range is large, about 6.0 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. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 6.5 ft. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 7.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 4.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 7.7 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.5 ft on January 23.
Kingsley Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Fernandina Beach, Amelia River: highs come about 27 min and lows about 25 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1982 to set up these predictions. 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.
Predictions are based on Fernandina Beach, Amelia River.
