About the tides at Port O'Connor
Port O'Connor usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 0.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Texas stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.2 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.4 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −0.9 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 and air pressure. It was established in 1989. The nearest other station is Matagorda Bay Entrance Channel, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 48 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Matagorda Ship Channel Marker 19.
