Where Leeville, Bayou LaFourche is
Leeville, Bayou LaFourche sits at 29.2483° N, 90.2117° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 9 mi west of Grand Isle, LA, in Lafourche Parish. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1934 until 1991, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Port Fourchon (NOAA 8762075), 9.3 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 203 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Port Fourchon, LA, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 9.3 mi away.
The tide at Leeville, Bayou LaFourche
Leeville, Bayou LaFourche 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 1.0 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 0.9 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 Leeville, Bayou LaFourche from the 2012-2016 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 0.9 ft above it and mean sea level 0.5 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Grand Isle, LA gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8762084, established 1934, gauge removed 1991. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
