About the tides at Port Fourchon

Port Fourchon usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.7 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports air pressure. It was established in 2003. The nearest other station is East Timbalier Island, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 53 min later. For tidal currents, see Caminada Pass, Barataria Bay.
