About the tides at Dauphin Island

Tides at Mobile Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.0 ft on October 30, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Mobile Bay 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 1966. The nearest other station is Dauphin Island Hydro, 0.3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Mobile Bay Entrance, off Mobile Point.
