Map of USGS gauge 02240500 and the river around it
Where OCKLAWAHA RIVER AT EUREKA, FL sits, with 6 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: 719–1,200 ft³/s (middle half of 59 years of record). Now: 601 ft³/s, below normal.
Below normal for this date. 601 ft³/s is between the 10th and 25th percentiles of daily mean flow for Nov 5 at this gauge over 59 years of record (1931–2026): 10th 597, 25th 719, median 938, 75th 1,200, 90th 1,790 ft³/s.
Daily means on record for Nov 5: lowest 514 ft³/s, highest 2,020 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 (+0.5% 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.
