About Texas tides

Texas tides are small and mostly diurnal, and the bays answer wind and season more than the moon. A strong norther can drain a flat in an afternoon.

Texas has 75 NOAA tide stations — 69 reference stations whose predictions come from harmonic analysis of observations there, and 6 subordinate stations calculated from them. The biggest tidal range in the state is at COX WC-53 Platform — 2.4 ft between mean higher high water and mean lower low water.
