About the tides at Shoalwater Flats

Tides at Shoalwater Flats are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 0.3 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 0.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 0.0 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.4 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.1 ft on November 26.

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 Barroom Bay, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min later.
