About the tides at Fly Creek
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 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on July 4, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on December 24.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Point Clear, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Great Point Clear, channel west of.
