About the tides at St. Marks, St. Marks River
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at St. Marks Lhtse., Apalachee Bay. The average range is about 2.3 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Florida stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.1 ft on August 2, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on December 24.
St. Marks, St. Marks River is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting St. Marks Lhtse., Apalachee Bay: highs come about 36 min and lows about 64 min later than there. The nearest other station is St. Marks, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min later. For tidal currents, see St. Marks, St. Marks River.
Predictions are based on St. Marks Lhtse., Apalachee Bay.
