About the tides at East Matagorda

Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Matagorda City, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. 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 43 m earlier.
