About the tides at Empire Jetty

Empire Jetty usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is larger than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.9 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.3 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 20.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Bastian Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 44 m later.

Predictions are based on Grand Isle, East Point.
