About the tides at San Martin Lake Channel
Most days here have a single high and a single low. Around neap tides the pattern can blur into small double tides. 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 Thursday, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.2 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 21.
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, where high tide comes about 43 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Brownsville Ship Channel, east end.
