About the tides at St. Marks
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.4 ft, comes on Monday, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, on October 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.6 ft on August 2 and bottom out at −1.6 ft on December 24.
Predictions for St. Marks come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is St. Marks, St. Marks River, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 20 min earlier. For tidal currents, see St. Marks, St. Marks River.
