About the tides at Skidaway Institute
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Skidaway River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The range is large, about 7.7 ft on average. Flats and bars appear and vanish quickly, so keep an eye on the time. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 8.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 9.8 ft on August 31, and the lowest is −1.6 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Priest Landing, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Dutch Island, SE of, Skidaway River.
