About the tides at Tidal Creek

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The average range is about 3.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 6.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 2.2 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Kirby Park, 0.6 mi away.
