About the tides at Port Bolivar

Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. The mean range is small, about 1.1 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 1.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.2 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 1994 to 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Galveston Bay Entrance, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 41 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Channel, W of Port Bolivar.
