About the tides at East Calcasieu Lake
East Calcasieu Lake has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.6 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.
Predictions for East Calcasieu Lake come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Calcasieu Ship Channel, 14 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 15 m later.
