About the tides at Coast Guard Sector Mobile

Coast Guard Sector Mobile usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Tuesday, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.4 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 21.

Coast Guard Sector Mobile is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2007. The nearest other station is Mobile, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later. For tidal currents, see Mobile River entrance.
