Re: Tide Data

If I'm reading those correctly Danny, this storm is hitting at high tide?

Storm surge + wave height + high tide= _____

Wow, I did not realize this. Is there typically a big tidal fluctuation in the MS/LA area? Or is the difference between high and low normally negligible?




Not in Jackson Cty, MS where the difference between high and low tide is at most a couple feet...but yes I checked earlier today, only for that area, and I think high tide was around 9am-ish.
