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 Tuesday, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, 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.

Bayou LaBatre Bridge is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It was established in 2011. The nearest other station is Bayou La Batre, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 59 min later. For tidal currents, see Dauphin Island Causeway.
