About the tides at Breton Islands

Breton Islands usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

Breton Islands is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting South Pass: highs come about 127 min and lows about 128 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1980 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Jack Bay, 14 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 5 m later.

Predictions are based on South Pass.
