About the tides at Alabama Point

Alabama Point usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Alabama stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.4 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Alabama Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1993 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Arnica Bay, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 58 m later.
