About the tides at East Matagorda
Tides at Matagorda City are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.5 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 1.1 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on February 3.
Matagorda City is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2012. The nearest other station is Sargent, 18 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 2 m earlier.
Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
