About the tides at South Padre Island

South Padre Island usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.7 ft, on October 8.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2016. The nearest other station is Padre Island (south end), 0.1 mi away, where high tide comes about 38 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Brazos Santiago Pass (SPIP).
