About the tides at Matagorda Bay Entrance Channel

Matagorda Bay Entrance Channel usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.6 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.1 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 20.

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 2014. The nearest other station is Port O'Connor, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 5 m later. For tidal currents, see Matagorda Entrance Channel.
