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 October 29, with a range of 3.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.0 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −1.6 ft on January 21.

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 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Utsmi Research Pier (midchannel).
