About the tides at Port Aransas (H. Caldwell Pier)

Port Aransas (H. Caldwell Pier) usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.6 ft. The next spring tides peak on Saturday, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1958 to 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Aransas, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later. For tidal currents, see UTSMI Research Pier (midchannel).
