About NOAA station 8720576
The St. Augustine City Dock station is the primary local tide reference for the Matanzas River near downtown, with connections to marsh creeks, the inlet, beaches, and Atlantic water.
Why people check this station
Local anglers use it to frame creek access, oyster and grass edges, docks, ramps, bridge structure, and the tide stage expected during an inshore trip.
How to interpret the prediction locally
Water and current reach the inlet and distant creeks at different times. Learn the offset for the exact spot and watch for wind opposing a strong inlet flow.
Tide height is not current speed
A high or low prediction describes the expected water level at the gauge. Current can turn earlier or later in a nearby inlet, river, bridge opening, pass, or channel. NOAA publishes separate current predictions for supported locations, and local weather can move the observed level above or below the astronomical prediction.
Basic station-planning checklist
- Confirm that station 8720576 represents the water you intend to use.
- Note the predicted high and low times, heights, and overall range.
- Check wind, waves, visibility, precipitation, and official warnings.
- Allow for the local offset between the gauge and your exact location.
- Verify actual water, access, navigation, and regulations before departure.
