About the tides at Sawpit Creek entrance
Sawpit Creek entrance has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The average range is about 4.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 5.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.9 ft.
Sawpit Creek entrance is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Nassau River Entrance, 0.4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Midsound, 1 mi. N of Sawpit Creek entrance.
