About the tides at Arnica Bay
Tides at Mill Point are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Alabama stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 14, with a range of 0.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.1 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on December 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2021 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Alabama Point, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 58 m earlier.
