About the tides at Rockport

Tides at Rockport are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Texas stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 0.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft.

Rockport is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1937. The nearest other station is Copano Bay, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 58 min later. For tidal currents, see Murray Shoal.
