Plan around the tide at Jacksonville 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 Jacksonville Beach (NOAA 8720291). Predicted astronomical tide: wind, river flow and storms can move the real water by a foot or more. 5.5 ft is the average daily range here.
Published by Radif Partners · How the tides are computed · predictions downloaded October 13, 2026
Tide times for Jacksonville Beach come from the National Ocean Service prediction for station 8720291, Jacksonville Beach. 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 5.5 ft. Around the new and full moon the range grows to about 6.8 ft on one day in ten, and at the quarter moons it shrinks to 4.3 ft. Heights are in feet above Mean Lower Low Water, the zero of nautical charts, so a negative number is water below that zero: 213 of the 457 days from October 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 have one, down to -1.2 ft on January 23, 2027. The highest predicted tide of that period is 6.9 ft on October 28, 2026. Clock times are Eastern Time, daylight saving time included.
Northeast Florida's large tide
Jacksonville Beach averages 5.5 ft from low to high, a much bigger tide than in South Florida. The northeast corner of the state shares the amplified tide of the Georgia Bight, while Miami averages well under three feet. Around the new and full moon the range here grows to 6.8 ft, and the beach's firm sand at low tide is wide enough for long walks and bike rides.
Atlantic Beach, Mayport and the St. Johns
Three and a half miles north, NOAA predicts Atlantic Beach from Fernandina Beach with high water 41 minutes earlier. Further north, at Mayport and the mouth of the St. Johns River, several reference stations follow the river's tide, which runs far inland to Jacksonville and beyond. Behind the beaches, the Intracoastal Waterway lags: NOAA predicts the Pablo Creek bridge from Mayport with high water more than an hour later, and Oak Landing more than two hours after Fernandina.
Fishing the pier and the surf
Surf anglers on these beaches watch the troughs between the bars, which fill on the rising tide. The lowest predicted low this period is -1.2 ft, on January 23, 2027; the highest high, 6.9 ft, on October 28, 2026. For the coast to the south, see St. Augustine.
