About the tides at New Canal USCG station
Tides at Lake Pontchartrain are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.5 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 on Saturday, with a range of 0.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 9, when the range shrinks to 0.0 ft.
Lake Pontchartrain is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1982. The nearest other station is Michoud Substation, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 52 m earlier.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
