About the tides at Battleship Texas State Park
Battleship Texas State Park has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow on October 21, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 21.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2002 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lynchburg Landing, 0.9 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Fred Hartman Br., Houston Ship Channel.
