Tide stands at locations other than the base point for a general area are determined by tide table adjustments. These adjustments may range from a matter of a few minutes to as much as 6 hours or more. The tide adjustment won't mean much if you fish an area with an adjustments of only minutes, but when you get into differentials of an hour or so, your fishing trip can be blown out the window. Thus after you note the tide for the base point be sure to note the tide stands for the specific area you plan to fish. It could mean going an hour earlier or perhaps getting an extra hour or so of sleep before going out.
Wind plays a key role in tide stands.
Incoming tides pushed by winds blowing from offshore will be higher at the base point as well as the adjustment points. As a matter of fact a sustained wind of 6 hours or more blowing 15 to 18 mile per hour wind from offshore can cause a high tide to rise as much as a foot above the predicted stand. Think how that can boom fishing along a saltgrass marsh in a bay. What goes up must also come down. Thus, a sustained wind of similar velocity can cause a high tide to reach less than its predicted high and cause a low tide to fall abnormally low.
