Wind that strong can hold water in or push it out, so the real tide may run above or below these predictions. In effect now: Coastal Flood Advisory, Rip Current Statement and High Surf Advisory. Sunrise is at 7:38 AM and sunset at 6:40 PM.

Where Sisters Creek is
Sisters Creek sits at 30.4167° N, 81.4533° W on Florida's Atlantic coast, at Jacksonville, FL, in Duval County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1977 until 1978, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Mayport (Bar Pilot Dock) (NOAA 8720218), 2.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 41 min later than there.
The tide at Sisters Creek
Sisters Creek has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 4.7 ft, and 4.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Florida's Atlantic tides are semidiurnal, two highs and two lows a day, with ranges of 2 to 5 ft that shrink inside the lagoons.
About this station
- High tide reaches Sisters Creek about 1.7 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Sisters Creek from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 4.7 ft above it and mean sea level 2.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Mayport (Ferry Depot), FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8720196, established 1977, gauge removed 1978. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
