About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Point Au Fer from the GALVESTON, Galveston Channel station: high tides about 1.40× the height, 21 min earlier; low tides about 1.40× the height, 146 min earlier.
The northern Gulf runs small, mostly diurnal tides — often just one high and one low a day — where wind and river flow routinely outvote the moon.
