About the tides at East Point

Tides at Grand Isle, East Point are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.7 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.9 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 20.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1979. The nearest other station is Barataria Pass, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 0 m later. For tidal currents, see Barataria Pass, Barataria Bay.
