About the tides at Galveston Bay Entrance

Galveston Bay Entrance usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 21.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2000. The nearest other station is Galveston Bay Entrance, South Jetty, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 31 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Galveston Bay Ent. (between jetties).
