About the tides at Timbalier Island

Tides at Timbalier Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at East Point, Grand Isle. 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 Friday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at East Point, Grand Isle, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Wine Island, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 49 min later. For tidal currents, see Cat Island Pass, Terrebonne Bay.

Predictions are based on East Point, Grand Isle.
