About the tides at Rockport

Tides at Aransas Bay 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 October 29, with a range of 0.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Friday, when the range shrinks to 0.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.8 ft on October 2, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 21.

Aransas Bay 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 56 min later. For tidal currents, see Murray Shoal.
