Tide at O State Park

[tapple50]

If low tide is at, say, 10am in the Ochlockonee Bay, then when would 'low tide' be at Ochlockonee River State Park?

How much of a time difference?

[WaltDawg]

The tide is pretty slack there, so I'm not sure. I would look at the comparison between the St. Marks tides to get an idea of the differences.

How much tide change is there at the park? Not much is it? The St Marks reference is probably accurate, around a half hour later.

I've fished that area in the winter only and the tide wasn't significant then. I'm assuming that the difference between the fort and the lighthouse is about the same as bald point vs. the state park.

Thanks!

I was thinkin'...not much difference also.

[WaltDawg]

We'll look forward to the report.

I don't know what park these fellas have been fishin at, but it must not be the one here in Sopchoppy The only time that the tide dosn't follow along with the rise and fall "% wise" is if we have had a significant amount of rain "such as lately"!! The tide at the park runs approximatly 1 hour behind the tide at Bald Point and can change as much as 3 to 4 foot between low and high tide looking at the tides for this weekend and knowing the amount of rain we've had, I would say that it will be pretty much a high tide all of this weekend, with the water running out for the most part

Yeah, I've seen the tide get pretty low out there, especially around full and new moons.

the report on the tide at O State Park...

timewise there is almost no difference when looking at Ochlockonee Bay tides and the park.

water level wise, last Sunday, between 18 inches and two feet. but I left before the tide was at the highest. [I am going by water line marks.]
