About the tides at Bayou LaBatre Bridge

Bayou LaBatre Bridge usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 20.
