I was thinking the outgoing tide just kept going because all the water that had been piling up in the lake from east and south winds just overpowered the incoming tide, helped along by west winds on that day. With that said, I did NOT know about the difference between the Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain tides. I use the Rigolets, Chef Pass, Shell Beach, Michoud/ICW and Grand Pass (35 miles east) stations for planning, and these space out more or less in order from east to west, with Grand Pass about 2 hours ahead of Shell Beach and 2-1/2 hours ahead of the Rigolets, etc. The Chef and ICW are east of the Rigolets but move LATER, though, now that I think about it – so my ideas on differences are a bit off. I will definitely be checking the Bayou Bonfouca station from now on, really appreciate the tip!
