About Shell Island tides

Tide predictions for Shell Island come from NOAA station 8764165 (Louisiana), computed from long-term harmonic analysis of observed water levels. Heights are shown in feet relative to MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) — the same datum used on US nautical charts — so they line up directly with charted depths.

Shell Island typically sees a mixed semidiurnal tide, with two highs and two lows of differing heights each day. Use the curve above to time a harbor entrance, a beach walk, fishing a moving tide, or clearing a shallow bar — and remember that wind and pressure can push the real water level above or below prediction. The daily tidal range in the 30-day table shows how much water moves each day: bigger ranges around the new and full moon mean stronger currents.

Frequently asked

What time is high tide in Shell Island today?+

Today (Wednesday, July 22), high tide at Shell Island is at 5:25 AM (1.3 ft). Heights are referenced to MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water).

What time is low tide in Shell Island today?+

Today, low tide at Shell Island is at 5:41 PM (-0.1 ft).

What tidal datum do these Shell Island tide heights use?+

All heights are given in feet relative to MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water), the standard NOAA chart datum for US tidal waters. A tide of 0.0 ft equals the chart datum; negative tides fall below it.

How accurate are these tide predictions?+

These are NOAA harmonic predictions — highly accurate for the astronomical tide. Real water levels can still differ with wind, barometric pressure, and storms, so always check current conditions before getting underway.
