Where Battleship Texas State Park is
Battleship Texas State Park sits at 29.7567° N, 95.0900° W on the Texas Gulf coast, at Houston, TX, in Harris County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 2002 until 2008, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Morgans Point, Barbours Cut (NOAA 8770613), 8.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 38 min later than there. The nearest weather station is La Porte Municipal Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 6.2 mi away.
The tide at Battleship Texas State Park
Battleship Texas State Park has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains a little lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.4 high tides a day here. For the water around it: Texas tides are diurnal, usually one high and one low a day with a range near 1 to 2 ft, and a steady wind can hold the predicted tide off by a foot.
Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA fixes MLLW at Battleship Texas State Park from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.5 ft above it and mean sea level 0.8 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Morgans Point, Barbours Cut, TX gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8770743, established 2002, gauge removed 2008. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
