About the tides at Lake Forest

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.

Lake Forest is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River: highs come about 73 min and lows about 130 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Moncrief Creek entrance, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Trout River Cut.

Predictions are based on Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River.
