About the tides at New Canal USCG station

Tides at USCG New Canal Sta., 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 October 30, with a range of 0.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on October 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 21.

USCG New Canal Sta., 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 12 m earlier.
