About the tides at Freshwater Bayou

Freshwater Bayou has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Louisiana stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 0.9 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on December 23, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on December 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bayou Fearman, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 9 m earlier.
