About the tides at Realitos Pennisula

Tides at Laguna Madre are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 0.5 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, 0.8 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 8.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 2009. The nearest other station is Queen Isabella Causeway (west end), 14 mi away, where high tide comes about 4 h 39 m earlier. For tidal currents, see ICW Laguna Madre, 2.25 nm S of Arroyo Colorado Cut.
