About the tides at Pilots Station East
Tides at SW Pass are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. 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 tomorrow, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, 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, where high tide comes about 8 min later.
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.
