I was looking on saltwatertides.com to find the tides for Alabama point and was not sure which location would give a fairly acurate tide table for that location. Any info or a different site that you may use would be very helpful.
 
I use Ft Morgan since it's on the coast, should be within 10 or 15 minutes which is more than your tolerance for variance anyway. Sometimes these darn tides forget to follow the timetable.

There's about an hour difference, so I figure 1/2 hr after Pensacola, or 1/2 hour before Mobile Point. Mat, I think,told me there's 15 mins from Pensacola to Alabama Point.

Anyway, they're kind of late this weekend.
 
My Alabama Outdoors calender lists the Fort Morgan high tides and notes to add 15(or 17?) minutes for Perdido Pass.
 
Thanks, I appreciate the info. I drove by the pass on the way to GGD the other day. It was the perfect day, sunny skies, and wind was out of the north. I wanted to go dive it right then and there and if I had my gear I probably would have gone solo near the rock jetty, but I don't solo dive and I was left just wanting to dive the site more than before. I look forward to checking it out soon.
