About the tides at Timbalier Island

Tides at Timbalier Island are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The pattern follows the reference station at Grand Isle, East Point. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −1.2 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. 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 Grand Isle, East Point.
