About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Ortega River entrance from the MAYPORT (BAR PILOT DOCK) station: high tides about 0.25× the height, 129 min later; low tides about 0.47× the height, 167 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.
