About the tides at Ship Island

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. 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, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Ship Island 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 1979 to 2011 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cat Island, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min later. For tidal currents, see Ship Island, 0.5 nm NW of, LB 26.
