About the tides at Alligator Point

Alligator Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at GALVESTON, Galveston Channel. The mean range is small, about 0.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Texas stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 1.2 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.4 ft.

Alligator Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting GALVESTON, Galveston Channel: highs come about 159 min and lows about 153 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1993 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is San Luis Pass, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 57 m earlier.

Predictions are based on GALVESTON, Galveston Channel.
