About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Fort Matanzas, Matanzas River, ICWW from the Fernandina Beach, Amelia River station: high tides about 0.65× the height, 3 min later; low tides about 0.95× the height, 49 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.
