About the tides at Bayou BonFouca

Tides at Route 433 are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Louisiana stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 0.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft.

Bayou BonFouca is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting South Pass: highs come about 672 min and lows about 691 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1982 to 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is The Rigolets, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 h 18 m earlier.

Predictions are based on South Pass.
