About the tides at Meaher State Park

Meaher State Park 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, 2.3 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Meaher State Park 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 2010 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Mobile, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 35 min later. For tidal currents, see Tensaw River entrance (bridge).
