About the tides at Calcasieu Ship Channel

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.4 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.7 ft on October 4, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Bulk Terminal #1 is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature. It was established in 2009. The nearest other station is Lake Charles, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Lake Charles City Docks.
