About the tides at Laird Bayou

Laird Bayou usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 8.

Laird Bayou is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Goose Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Paper Mill.
