About the tides at Rabbit Island

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.3 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at GALVESTON, Galveston Channel. The mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is larger than most Louisiana stations on this site. The next spring tides peak tomorrow, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft.

Rabbit Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting GALVESTON, Galveston Channel: highs come about 13 min and lows about 120 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Point Chevreuil, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 15 m later.

Predictions are based on GALVESTON, Galveston Channel.
