About the tides at Welaka
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at St. Johns River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 0.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Florida stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.5 ft on October 26, and the lowest is 0.0 ft on October 27.
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 from 1978 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sutherlands Still, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min later.
