Where Freeport Harbor is
Freeport Harbor sits at 28.9483° N, 95.3083° W on the Texas Gulf coast, at Surfside Beach, TX, in Brazoria County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1954 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 Freeport Harbor (NOAA 8772471), 1.2 mi away, and the tide here runs on nearly the same clock. The nearest weather station is Freeport SPIP, TX, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 1.2 mi away.
The tide at Freeport Harbor
Freeport Harbor 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 1.3 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.8 ft, and 1.4 ft between the average high and the average low, a small tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.1 ft and the lower low sits 0.3 ft below the other low. 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 Freeport Harbor from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.8 ft above it and mean sea level 1.0 ft. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8772440, established 1954, 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.
