About the tides at Padre Island (south end)

Padre Island (south end) usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. 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 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.8 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on October 29 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on July 3.

Predictions for Padre Island (south end) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1958 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is South Padre Island, 0.1 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min later. For tidal currents, see Brazos Santiago Pass (Spip).
