Where East Bank 1, Norco, B. LaBranche is
East Bank 1, Norco, B. LaBranche sits at 30.0503° N, 90.3680° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 3 mi east of Laplace, LA, in St. Charles Parish. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1982 until 2012, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is New Canal USCG station, Lake Pontchartrain (NOAA 8761927), 15.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 9 min later than there. The nearest weather station is New Orleans, New Orleans International Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 8.1 mi away.
The tide at East Bank 1, Norco, B. LaBranche
East Bank 1, Norco, B. LaBranche has a diurnal tide: usually one high and one low a day, with the daily rhythm shifting about 50 minutes later each day and fading near the moon's equatorial crossing. This month's predictions average 1.1 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.5 ft, a small tide. For the water around it: Northern Gulf tides are diurnal, one high and one low most days with ranges of 1 to 2 ft, so wind and river stage move the water as much as the moon.

Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at East Bank 1, Norco, B. LaBranche from the 2012-2016 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.2 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Grand Isle, LA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8762372, established 1982, gauge removed 2012. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
