Empire tides
Predicted from Bay Pomme D'or, NOAA station 8761115, 4 miles away. In the marsh the tide does more than raise and lower the water. A falling tide pulls bait out of the ponds and through the cuts, and it decides how much water sits under a hull on the way back in. The range is small; what matters is which way it is running. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Empire Jetty, Bay Pomme d’Or and Adams Bay.

About Empire
As a powerhouse of commercial and recreational fishing, Empire covers the Empire Jetty, Bay Pomme d’Or, and Adams Bay. Visitors come here to embark on deep-sea sport fishing charters departing for Gulf oil rigs to target marlin, yellowfin tuna, and wahoo, or to stay inshore for world-class marsh fishing while viewing massive commercial oyster and menhaden fleets. Tide tracking is essential for all types of boaters here; inshore marsh anglers rely on high tides to navigate the shallow bays safely and pinpoint when bait is flushed against the Empire Jetty, while offshore captains use tide swings to determine the smoothest departure times through the local canal locks.
