About the tides at Shell Beach

Tides at Lake Borgne are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on October 30, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 21.

Lake Borgne is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1979. The nearest other station is Martello Castle, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later.
