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 Pier 21, 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 on October 28, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.7 ft on January 21.
Rabbit Island is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Galveston Pier 21, 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 Pier 21, Galveston Channel.
