About the tides at Port Arthur

Port Arthur has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The mean range is small, about 0.8 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 1.0 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 1.4 ft. Neap tides follow on October 22, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.6 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

Sabine Naches Canal is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1996. The nearest other station is East Sabine Lake, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 49 min later. For tidal currents, see Port Arthur.
