About the tides at Mermentau River

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.9 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.5 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Mermentau River 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 1989 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Catfish Point, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 1 m later.
