About the tides at Vaughns Landing
Vaughns Landing has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 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 3.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.1 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Wednesday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.3 ft on November 26 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on December 23.
Predictions for Vaughns Landing come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2008 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lofton, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 10 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Kingsley Creek, highway bridge.
