NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Dauphin Island (NOAA 8735180), 3.5 mi away, and the tide here runs on nearly the same clock. The nearest weather station is Fort Morgan, AL, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 1.6 mi away.
The tide at Mobile Point (Fort Morgan)
Mobile Point (Fort Morgan) 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 1.1 high tides a day here. 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 publishes no datums for this point. Its predictions are offsets from Mobile, Mobile River (State Dock) and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8734635. 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.
