About the tides at South Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel. The mean range is small, about 1.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow on November 19, when the range shrinks to 0.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.6 ft on January 21.
South Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel: highs come about 19 min and lows about 117 min earlier than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1960 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rabbit Island, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later.
Predictions are based on Galveston Pier 21, Galveston Channel.
