About the tides at Dauphin Island Hydro

Dauphin Island Hydro usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Dauphin Island Hydro come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Dauphin Island, 0.3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Mobile Bay Entrance, off Mobile Point.
