About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Southwest Pass from the SOUTH PASS station: high tides about 1.07× the height, 35 min later; low tides about 1.07× the height, 13 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.
