About the tides at William Brooks Park

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. 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, 2.3 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

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 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Tensaw River entrance (bridge).

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
