About the tides at Gum Cove

Gum Cove 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 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.2 ft, on Tuesday.

Predictions for Gum Cove 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 East Calcasieu Lake, 16 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 44 m earlier.
