About the tides at Schooner Bayou
Schooner Bayou has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.3 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on December 24.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Intracoastal City, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier.
