About the tides at Barataria Pass

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.6 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 20.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is East Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 0 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Barataria Pass, Barataria Bay.

Predictions are based on Grand Isle, East Point.
