About the tides at North Pass

Tides at Pass a Loutre are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at South Pass. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft.

North Pass is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting South Pass: highs come about 42 min and lows about 43 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1980 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Devon Energy Facility, 0.6 mi away, where high tide comes about 24 min earlier.

Predictions are based on South Pass.
