About the tides at SW Pass
Tides at SW Pass are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 8.
Predictions for SW Pass come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1996 to 2004 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Southwest Pass, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
