Where St. George Island, Northeast End is
St. George Island, Northeast End sits at 29.7667° N, 84.7000° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 5 mi south of Carrabelle, FL. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1983 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), 17.1 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 108 min earlier than there.
The tide at St. George Island, Northeast End
St. George Island, Northeast End has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.8 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 2.2 ft, and 1.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.5 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Northern Gulf tides are diurnal, one high and one low most days with ranges of 1 to 2 ft, so wind and river stage move the water as much as 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 St. George Island, Northeast End from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.2 ft above it and mean sea level 1.2 ft. The land survey datum NAVD88, the zero on topographic maps and flood maps, is 1.3 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 Apalachicola, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8728486, established 1983, 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.
