About the tides at Pointe Au Chien
Pointe Au Chien usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 0.4 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, 0.5 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on October 8.
Predictions for Pointe Au Chien come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1987 to 1988 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Bayou Faleau, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 34 m later.
