Tide chart questions
Which tide station do these charts use?
The charts use the NOAA prediction station at Gulf Shores, ICWW (8731439), the closest published prediction for Ono Island and Orange Beach. Ono Island is not measured directly, so timing and height at your dock can differ a little.
What does MLLW mean?
MLLW stands for Mean Lower Low Water. It is the zero line, the average of the lowest tide of each day over many years. A negative number is lower than an average low, and a big positive number is a strong high.
Does the chart include wind and weather?
No. A north wind can push water out and make tides lower than predicted. A south wind, tropical system, or storm can push water in and make them higher. Check the live water level the morning of your showing.
When is the best time to tour a dock?
Ask for a showing near low tide to see true depth, the bottom, and boat clearance, then look at the same spot near high tide to see how close the water gets to the deck and seawall.
How much do tides move on the Gulf coast?
Most days the water moves about one to two feet, and many days have just one high and one low. Wind can matter as much as the chart.
