About the tides at Mason Creek

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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on Tuesday, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.8 ft on May 9 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Mason Creek come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Halls River bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 0 m later.
