About the tides at William Brooks Park
William Brooks Park usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 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 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on June 6 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.
A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It was established in 2011. The nearest other station is Mobile, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tensaw River entrance (bridge).
