About the tides at Bayou La Batre

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.8 ft, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.7 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 20.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at South Pass, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Bayou LaBatre Bridge, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 57 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Dauphin Island Causeway.

Predictions are based on South Pass.
