About the tides at Eagle Point

Eagle Point usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.8 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.8 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.0 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 1973. The nearest other station is Texas City, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 49 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Ship Channel (Red Fish Bar).
