About the tides at Smith Point

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. Water here rises and falls only about 1.1 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.8 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on October 9.

Predictions for Smith Point come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1995 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sievers Cove, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 38 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Ship Channel (Red Fish Bar).
