About the tides at Texas City

Tides at Galveston Bay are mostly diurnal: one rise and one fall a day, with a slow change between them. Water here rises and falls only about 1.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on Friday, and the smallest, 0.4 ft, on October 8.

Predictions for Texas City 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 2019 to 2020 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Galveston Railroad Bridge, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 2 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Channel, W of Port Bolivar.
