About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Barataria Pass from the EAST POINT, GRAND ISLE station: high tides about 1.13× the height, 60 min later; low tides about 1.13× the height, 10 min earlier.

The northern Gulf runs small, mostly diurnal tides — often just one high and one low a day — where wind and river flow routinely outvote the moon.
