About the tides at Moncrief Creek entrance

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Moncrief Creek Entrance, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The pattern follows the reference station at Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River. On a typical day the water moves about 2.5 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.4 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Bar Pilots Dock, St Johns River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Phoenix Park, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Trout River Cut.

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