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 Sutherlands Still, Dunns Creek from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.9 ft above it and mean sea level 0.5 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Green Cove Springs, St. Johns R., Fl gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8720782, established 1978, gauge removed 1994. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
