About the tides at Coast Guard Sector Mobile

Tides at Coast Guard Sector Mobile are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. 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 Saturday, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

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.
