About the tides at Palmetto Bluff

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock). Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 18. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.4 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock), with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Racy Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 36 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock).
