About the tides at Horn Island
Horn Island usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. 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 tomorrow, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on December 23.
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 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Graveline Bayou Entrance, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Horn Island, Petit Bois Island, between.
