About the tides at Grand Bay

Tides at Grand 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 on Friday, with a range of 2.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1985 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jack Bay, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 30 min later.
