About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Port Eads, South Pass from the SOUTH PASS station: high tides about 0.90× the height, 56 min later; low tides about 0.90× the height, 17 min earlier.

The northern Gulf runs small, mostly diurnal tides — often just one high and one low a day — where wind and river flow routinely outvote the moon.
