Where Blue Angels Park is
Blue Angels Park sits at 30.3869° N, 87.4288° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 1 mi south of Lillian, AL, in Escambia County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2008 until 2011, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Pensacola (NOAA 8729840), 13.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 156 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Pensacola Naval Air Station, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 6.6 mi away.
The tide at Blue Angels Park
Blue Angels Park has a diurnal tide: usually one high and one low a day, with the daily rhythm shifting about 50 minutes later each day and fading near the moon's equatorial crossing. This month's predictions average 1.0 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.8 ft, a small tide. For the water around it: Northern Gulf tides are diurnal, one high and one low most days with ranges of 1 to 2 ft, so wind and river stage move the water as much as the moon.
About this station
- Highest water on record: 3.6 ft on Nov 10, 2009.

Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Blue Angels Park from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.8 ft above it and mean sea level 0.4 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Pensacola, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8729941, established 2008, gauge removed 2011. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.

🌊 Biggest flood tides at Blue Angels Park this month: Oct 1, Oct 2, Oct 3, Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29, Oct 30, Oct 31. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Blue Angels Park this month: Oct 1, Oct 2, Oct 3, Oct 4, Oct 26, Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29, Oct 30, Oct 31. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
