About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Ship Shoal Light from the EAST POINT, GRAND ISLE station: high tides about 1.51× the height, 114 min earlier; low tides about 1.51× the height, 110 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.
