About the tides at Port Aransas

Port Aransas has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 22. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.8 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 21.

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 1990. The nearest other station is Port Aransas (H. Caldwell Pier), 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 38 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Corpus Christi Channel Ut Marine Science.
