About the tides at Independence Island

Tides at Independence Island are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at East Point, Grand Isle. The mean range is small, about 0.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft.

Independence Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting East Point, Grand Isle: 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 East Point, Grand Isle.
