About the tides at San Martin Lake Channel

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. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.4 ft. The next spring tides peak on Friday, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on October 8, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Port Isabel, 7 mi away. For tidal currents, see Brownsville Ship Channel, east end.
