About the tides at Galveston Railroad Bridge

Galveston Railroad Bridge has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 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 1.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.7 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on October 8.

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 2012. The nearest other station is Texas City, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 24 m later. For tidal currents, see Galveston Causeway RR. bridge.
