About the tides at Texas City
Texas City usually gets one high and one low tide a day, known as a diurnal tide. 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, 1.3 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on November 19. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.7 ft on October 30 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 21.
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 32 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Houston Channel, W of Port Bolivar.
