About the tides at Independence Island

Tides at Independence Is., Barataria Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 23, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.6 ft on October 30, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 20.

Independence Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Grand Isle, East Point: highs come about 149 min and lows about 119 min later than there. The nearest other station is Barataria Pass, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 29 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Pass Abel, Barataria Bay.

Predictions are based on Grand Isle, East Point.
