About the tides at Bayou Faleau

Bayou Faleau usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.9 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.1 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 20.

Predictions for Bayou Faleau come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2024 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Pointe Au Chien, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 52 m earlier.
