Lake Charles tides

Predicted from Lake Charles, NOAA station 8767816, 0 miles away. In the marsh the tide does more than raise and lower the water. A falling tide pulls bait out of the ponds and through the cuts, and it decides how much water sits under a hull on the way back in. The range is small; what matters is which way it is running. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers North Beach, Prien Lake Park and Sam Houston Jones State Park.

About Lake Charles

An urban coastal environment connected to the Gulf via the deep-water Calcasieu River, this area features the white sands of North Beach, Prien Lake Park, and the bayous of Sam Houston Jones State Park. Typical activities include strolling along the brackish lakefront promenade, crabbing with handlines off public piers, and launching kayaks into the local estuarine marshes. Although situated further inland, this water system is highly tidal; checking the tide forecast ensures ideal conditions for kayakers looking to ride an incoming current up into the marsh cuts, while moving water significantly increases success rates for crabbers dropping nets off the local piers.
