About the tides at Little Pottsburg Creek
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Little Pottsburg Creek, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River. The average range is about 2.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Little Pottsburg Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River: highs come about 91 min and lows about 129 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jacksonville, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 min later. For tidal currents, see Commodore Point, terminal channel.
Predictions are based on Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River.
