Flood & low finder

🌊 Biggest flood tides at Dauphin Island this month: Sep 4, Sep 5, Sep 6, Sep 7, Sep 8, Sep 30. 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 Dauphin Island this month: Sep 5, Sep 6. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
