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 October 14, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 20.

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 38 m later.
