About the tides at Alligator Bayou

Alligator Bayou usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

Alligator Bayou is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Sulphur Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bear Point, 0.6nm E of.
