About the tides at East Matagorda

Tides at East Matagorda 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. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 0.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.2 ft.

East Matagorda 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 1 h 5 m earlier.
