About the tides at Manchester

Manchester has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 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 1.6 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, on October 9.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and wind. It was established in 1995. The nearest other station is Buffalo Bayou, 5 mi away. For tidal currents, see 610 Bridge, Houston Ship Channel.
