About the tides at Pilottown

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.3 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.6 ft on June 5 and bottom out at −0.8 ft on November 26.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1980. The nearest other station is Joseph Bayou, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 10 m earlier.
