About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Alligator Point, St. James Island from the ST. MARKS RIVER ENTRANCE station: high tides about 0.75× the height, 8 min earlier; low tides about 0.73× the height, 11 min later.
Two coasts, two personalities: modest 2 to 4 ft semidiurnal ranges on the Atlantic side, mixed tides on the Gulf side, and king tides that flood streets on calm, sunny days.
