About the tides at South Pass
South Pass usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 2.0 ft. Neap tides follow on October 23, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 20.
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 1977 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Eads, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 56 min later.
