About the tides at Gulfport Harbor

Gulfport Harbor usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.4 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Gulfport Harbor come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1979 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Handsboro Bridge, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 48 m later. For tidal currents, see Ship Island, 1.8 nm NNW of, DM 32.
