The tide at Eugene Island, North of, Atchafalaya Bay
Eugene Island, North of, Atchafalaya Bay has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other.

On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.4 ft below the other low. 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.
