About the tides at Pass Christian Yacht Club
Tides at Mississippi Sound are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. 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, 2.8 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at South Pass, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1979 to 1980 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is St. Louis Bay entrance, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later.
Predictions are based on South Pass.
