The tide at Laird Bayou, East Bay
Laird Bayou, East Bay 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 1.5 ft, and 1.3 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.1 ft below the other low. 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.

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 Laird Bayou, East Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.7 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Panama City, FL gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8729045, established 1976, gauge removed 1991. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
