Before you go in the water
The home-page card shows today's NWS rip-current risk for Coastal Nassau, NOAA tide predictions for Fernandina Beach, and local sun times. Conditions can change. Read the latest source bulletin and check beach flags before entering the water.
Rip currents
The risk label comes from the National Weather Service surf-zone forecast for Coastal Nassau. It covers more than Amelia Island and is not a measurement at a specific beach access. An unavailable label means this site could not confirm a current bulletin; it does not mean the water is safe.

Tides and daylight
High and low tides are predictions for NOAA station 8720030 in Fernandina Beach, not a guarantee of water level at every beach. Sunrise and sunset use U.S. Naval Observatory times for Fernandina Beach coordinates.
Updated live when source data is available. Check lifeguard guidance and posted beach flags on arrival.
