About the tides at Galveston Bay Entrance, South 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 1.5 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 2.1 ft. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.9 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.4 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 1925 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Galveston Bay Entrance, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min later. For tidal currents, see Galveston Bay Ent. (between jetties).
