About the tides at Buffalo Bayou
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on Thursday, and the smallest, 1.0 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 21.
Predictions for Buffalo Bayou come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Manchester, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see 610 Bridge, Houston Ship Channel.
