About the tides at Rainbow Bridge

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. 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, 1.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.5 ft on May 9 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 was established in 1993. The nearest other station is Port Arthur, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 31 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Rainbow Bridge.
