I find offen that after checking the news or paper for tide info and get there at that time that

i have missed it or am way early ?? Why is this ?? When i read a time for the tides, when is

the right time to get there, like if its coming in at 7:30 am , i need to be there at 6:30am right ??

I have found that there is a five hour adjustment for the table that i find for my area(Pascagoula).If the tablesay 11:00am high tide my actual high tide is6:00am.So if I want to catch the tide moving I would have to be on the water between 4 and 5. You have to study the charts and actually compair to what you actually find.There are other factors such as wind/direction that may also affect tide range.

There are aprox 16 different tide stations you will find on a Garmin GPS handheld or fixed mount.



This will give you the best data for the area that you want to be in.

First of all you should remember that at the time of high & low tide there is no water movement or slack tide. The highest water movement comes approx 2 hours past high or low tide.



Most tide tables are based on points at a pass. The farther inland you go it takes a little longer for the tidal flow to start.



Good luck.

WWW.saltwatertides.com It has about 100 or so spots on the Gulf Coast including the Pass and it always seems to be right on. Also has Sunrise/Sunset and moon phases

The tide times are most likely in GMT/Zulu. Make sure you're adjusting for LST (local standard time). I think right now with daylight savings we are GMT -6 or -5. So for instance, 1200 GMT is 0700 LST.
