Map of USGS gauge 02236125 and the river around it
Where ST. JOHNS RIVER AT ASTOR, FL sits, with 2 other gauges on the same river.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Florida rule: 68°F.

Normal for Nov 5: 2,880–8,940 ft³/s (middle half of 32 years of record). Now: 9,470 ft³/s, above normal.
Above normal for this date. 9,470 ft³/s is between the 75th and 90th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 32 years of record (1995–2026): 10th -180, 25th 2,880, median 4,330, 75th 8,940, 90th 10,700 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest -2,090 ft³/s, highest 11,900 ft³/s.
Classes as USGS labels them (hyswap: flow categories (WDFN_stats schema) (U.S. Geological Survey) ); percentiles from the USGS daily statistics (U.S. Geological Survey) (approved daily means; the reading is provisional and instantaneous).
Steady over 24 hours (+6.6% discharge). Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Moderate flooding (NWS). NWS moderate flood stage. Stay away from the river.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)NWS forecast: Moderate flooding (NWS). The National Weather Service river forecast for this gauge reaches that category. Plan around it and check the forecast again before you go.
Flood categories: action stage, minor, moderate and major flooding (National Weather Service)Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
Moderate flooding (NWS). NWS moderate flood stage. Stay away from the river.
NWS observed 3.19 ft stage at Nov 5, 7:30 PM EST (NWS gauge ASTF1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS river forecast forecast issued Nov 5, 7:52 PM EST. Highest point: 3.4 ft on Nov 10, 1:00 AM EST (Moderate flooding (NWS)).
