About the tides at Lafitte

Tides at Barataria Waterway are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.3 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 today, with a range of 0.3 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.7 ft on September 24, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 20.

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 1985 to 1991 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Manilla, 18 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 45 m earlier.
