The station here is a live gauge in a NOAA PORTS harbor system, reporting water level in near real time for commercial traffic. It has been in NOAA's records since 1973. The nearest weather station is Eagle Point, TX, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, right at this station.
The tide at Eagle Point
Eagle Point 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. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.1 ft, and 1.0 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. 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 Eagle Point from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.1 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 8771013, established 1973. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them. The observed line is the gauge's own six-minute water level feed.
