About the tides at Port Bolivar

Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.1 ft. 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 October 14, with a range of 1.8 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on October 3, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 20.

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 40 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Channel, W of Port Bolivar.
