About the tides at Grand Bay Nerr
Tides at Mississippi Sound are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.5 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 2010 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Point of Pines, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 40 min later.
