About the tides at Mendicant Island

Mendicant Island usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.7 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.2 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.6 ft on October 2 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 20.

Predictions for Mendicant Island 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 1985 to 1986 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Independence Island, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 36 m later. For tidal currents, see Barataria Pass, Barataria Bay.
