About the tides at San Luis Pass

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.5 ft, on Friday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.0 ft on October 3 and bottom out at −1.3 ft on January 21.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1998. The nearest other station is Alligator Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 2 h 53 m later.
