About the tides at Gulf State Park Pier

Tides at Gulf State Park Pier 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. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.4 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 1980 to 2021 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Gulf Shores, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 48 m later.
