About the tides at Port Lavaca

Tides at Lavaca Causeway are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 0.8 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.3 ft, comes on October 30, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.6 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 1989. The nearest other station is Seadrift, 17 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 h 34 m later.
