About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Bayou BonFouca, Route 433 from the SOUTH PASS station: high tides about 0.43× the height, 672 min later; low tides about 0.43× the height, 691 min later.

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.
