About the tides at Arnica Bay

Tides at Arnica Bay 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 29, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.1 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 59 m earlier.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
