About the tides at Pilots Station East

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. 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 October 29, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 20.

SW Pass 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 2004. The nearest other station is SW Pass, 0.8 mi away.
