Where Clear Lake is
Clear Lake sits at 29.5633° N, 95.0667° W on the Texas Gulf coast, at Pasadena, TX, in Harris County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1990 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), 9.5 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 79 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Houston / Ellington, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 6.5 mi away.
The tide at Clear Lake
Clear Lake has a diurnal tide: usually one high and one low a day, with the daily rhythm shifting about 50 minutes later each day and fading near the moon's equatorial crossing. This month's predictions average 1.2 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 Clear Lake from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.2 ft above it and mean sea level 0.6 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Galveston Pier 21, TX gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8770933, established 1990, 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.

TidalMapMonthly tide calendar
🌊 Biggest flood tides at Clear Lake this month: Oct 2, Oct 3, Oct 4, Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29, Oct 30, Oct 31. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
Best fishing times (solunar)
Major and minor solunar windows for Clear Lake, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
