About the tides at Roses Bluff
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.7 ft. The range is large, about 6.0 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 7.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 6.3 ft.
Roses Bluff is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is St. Marys, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Range A2, LB 29, Cumberland Sound.
