About the tides at Freeport Harbor, 8772440
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. 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 tomorrow, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 1.0 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 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.
