About the tides at Handsboro Bridge

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The mean range is small, about 1.6 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 2.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 0.8 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 in 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Turkey Creek, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Ship Island, 1.8 nm NNW of, DM 32.
