About the tides at Raccoon Point

Raccoon Point usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. On a typical day the water moves about 2.1 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Louisiana stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.5 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on November 19. 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 41 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Caillou Boca, Caillou Bay.

Predictions are based on Grand Isle, East Point.
