About the tides at Christmas Bay

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. The pattern follows the reference station at Galveston Pier 21, 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. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.2 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on January 21.

Christmas Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel: highs come about 287 min and lows about 157 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1990 to 1995 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is San Luis Pass, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 46 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Surfside Bridge.

Predictions are based on Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel.
