About the tides at South Padre Island C.G. Station

Tides at South Padre Island C.G. Station are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.7 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 21.

South Padre Island C.G. Station is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1993. The nearest other station is Queen Isabella Causeway (east end), 0.4 mi away, where high tide comes about 34 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Laguna Madre Channel, NE end.
