About the tides at Point of Pines
Point of Pines usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.7 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 20.
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 1980 to 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Grand Bay Nerr, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Petit Bois Island, Dauphin Island, between.
Predictions are based on South Pass.
