About the tides at Freeport Harbor, 8772440
Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. 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 1.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 29, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −1.1 ft on January 21.
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 1954 to 2008 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is USCG Freeport, 0.5 mi away. For tidal currents, see Surfside Bridge.
