Plan around the tide at Daytona Beach
No window of 30 minutes or more below 1.0 ft over the next 7 days in daylight. Try a higher level.
A falling tide uncovers sand bars and tide pools first; plan to be back before the water rises past the level you chose. Not for navigation.
Station Daytona Beach Shores, Sunglow Pier (NOAA 8721120). Predicted astronomical tide: wind, river flow and storms can move the real water by a foot or more. 4.0 ft is the average daily range here.

Tide times for Daytona Beach come from the National Ocean Service prediction for station 8721120, Daytona Beach Shores, Sunglow Pier, a subordinate station whose highs and lows NOAA corrects from Fernandina Beach, Amelia River. The tide here is semidiurnal: two highs and two lows of similar height every day, about six hours and a quarter apart, with an average daily range of 4.0 ft. Around the new and full moon the range grows to about 5.1 ft on one day in ten, and at the quarter moons it shrinks to 3.0 ft. Heights are in feet above Mean Lower Low Water, the zero of nautical charts, so a negative number is water below that zero: 163 of the 457 days from October 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 have one, down to -1.3 ft on January 23, 2027. The highest predicted tide of that period is 5.1 ft on October 1, 2027. Clock times are Eastern Time, daylight saving time included.
A beach where the tide decides where you park
Daytona's hard-packed sand is famous for driving, and on the beach the tide is a practical matter: the drivable strip shrinks at high tide, and beach driving areas are closed when the water comes up. The station at the Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores is computed from Fernandina Beach with high water 56 minutes earlier, low water 42 minutes earlier, high-water heights at 65 percent. The result is an average day of 4.0 ft. Volusia County posts the beach driving rules and closures; this page gives the water.
The Halifax River runs hours behind
Behind the beach, the Halifax River is a lagoon with a small, late tide. NOAA predicts the Halifax River at Ormond Beach from Fernandina with high water more than three hours later and a tenth of the height at high water: on the river the tide barely matters. At Ponce Inlet, nine miles south of town, the Halifax meets the ocean and the tide is stronger, with its own reference station at Ponce de Leon Inlet.
Highs, lows and the surf
The lowest predicted low here this period is -1.3 ft, on January 23, 2027, when the beach is widest; the highest high is 5.1 ft, on October 1, 2027. Rip currents form along this coast whatever the tide. The low tide beach planner lists the daylight hours with the water below the level you choose.
