About the tides at St. Joseph Point

Tides at St. Joseph Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 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, 2.3 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.3 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 20.

Predictions for St. Joseph Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 1976 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Saint Joe, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 4 m later.
