Sunrise is at 7:39 AM and sunset at 6:40 PM.

Where Vaughns Landing is
Vaughns Landing sits at 30.6300° N, 81.5767° W on Florida's Atlantic coast, at Yulee, FL, in Nassau County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2008 until 2011, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Fernandina Beach, Amelia River (NOAA 8720030), 7.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 257 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Fernandina Beach Municipal Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 7.0 mi away.
The tide at Vaughns Landing
Vaughns Landing 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 3.0 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 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.3 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 Vaughns Landing about 5.9 hours after the moon passes overhead. That lag is local, which is why high water does not line up with the moon.
- Highest water on record: 4.6 ft on May 21, 2009.
- Lowest on record: -2.4 ft on Feb 14, 2011.
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 Vaughns Landing from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 3.0 ft above it and mean sea level 1.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Fernandina Beach, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8720059, established 2008, gauge removed 2011. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
