About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Bayou La Batre, Mississippi Sound from the SOUTH PASS station: high tides about 1.23× the height, 112 min later; low tides about 1.23× the height, 74 min later.

The northern Gulf runs small, mostly diurnal tides — often just one high and one low a day — where wind and river flow routinely outvote the moon.
