About the tides at Copano Bay

Copano Bay usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 0.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Texas stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.5 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.5 ft on December 25 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on January 21.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2004. The nearest other station is Rockport, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier.
