About the tides at Padre Island

Padre Island 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 1.4 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.3 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 21.

Predictions for Padre Island 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 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Realitos Pennisula, 21 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 20 m later.
