About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Joseph Bayou from the SOUTH PASS station: high tides about 1.15× the height, 37 min later; low tides about 1.15× the height, 17 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.
