About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Queen Isabella Causeway (west end) from the PADRE ISLAND (south end) station: high tides about 0.81× the height, 52 min later; low tides about 0.63× the height, 30 min later.

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.
