About the tides at Queen Isabella Causeway (west end)

Queen Isabella Causeway (west end) usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. The pattern follows the reference station at Padre Island, Brazos Santiago Pass. The mean range is small, about 1.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 26, with a range of 1.8 ft. Neap tides follow on October 23, when the range shrinks to 0.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.0 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on July 3.

Queen Isabella Causeway (west end) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Padre Island, Brazos Santiago Pass: highs come about 52 min and lows about 30 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1973 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Queen Isabella Causeway (east end), 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Isabel, Pontoon Swing Bridge.

Predictions are based on Padre Island, Brazos Santiago Pass.
