Where Snipe Island, Econfina River State Park is
Snipe Island, Econfina River State Park sits at 30.0619° N, 83.9527° W on Florida's Gulf coast, about 16 mi southeast of St. Marks, FL. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2023 until 2023, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Apalachicola (NOAA 8728690), 65.8 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 93 min earlier than there.
The tide at Snipe Island, Econfina River State Park
Snipe Island, Econfina River State Park 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 3.3 ft, and 2.6 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 0.5 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Florida's Gulf coast runs mixed tides: two unequal highs a day near Tampa Bay, trending toward one high a day along the Big Bend and the Panhandle.
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 Snipe Island, Econfina River State Park from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.3 ft above it and mean sea level 1.8 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.9 ft above MLLW here, so a water level on this page converts to NAVD88 by subtracting that amount. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Cedar Key, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8727976, established 2023, gauge removed 2023. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
