About the tides at Palatka

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.4 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on Wednesday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.5 ft on October 12 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on June 5.

Predictions for Palatka 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 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Buffalo Bluff, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later.
