About the tides at Freeport Entrance Jetty
This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is larger than most Texas stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Freeport Harbor, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Surfside Bridge.
