About the tides at Waveland

Waveland usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.4 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on June 6 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Waveland 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 1996 to 2005 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is St. Louis Bay entrance, 4 mi away.
