About the tides at Raccoon Point
Tides at Isle Dernieres are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. Water here rises and falls only about 1.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is larger than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.3 ft, comes on October 26, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.0 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.7 ft on January 20.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 1934 to 1979 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Texas Gas Platform, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 9 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Caillou Boca, Caillou Bay.
Predictions are based on Grand Isle, East Point.
