About the tides at Cote Blanche Island
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 pattern follows the reference station at Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.1 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 21.
Cote Blanche Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel: highs come about 139 min and lows about 136 min later than there. The nearest other station is Cypremort Point, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel.
