Where Sabine Offshore Light (USCG S-1 Platform) is
Sabine Offshore Light (USCG S-1 Platform) sits at 29.4690° N, 93.7200° W on the northern Gulf of Mexico, about 16 mi south of Port Arthur, TX. 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 2020. The nearest weather station is Texas Point, Sabine Pass, TX, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 16.9 mi away.
The tide at Sabine Offshore Light (USCG S-1 Platform)
Sabine Offshore Light (USCG S-1 Platform) has a mixed tide: two highs and two lows a day, but of unequal size, so one low each day drains noticeably lower than the other. This month's predictions average 1.6 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 2.3 ft, and 1.6 ft between the average high and the average low, a moderate tide. On an average day the higher high tops the lower high by 0.2 ft and the lower low sits 0.5 ft below the other low. For the water around it: Northern Gulf tides are diurnal, one high and one low most days with ranges of 1 to 2 ft, so wind and river stage move the water as much as the moon.
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 Sabine Offshore Light (USCG S-1 Platform) from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 2.3 ft above it and mean sea level 1.3 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Texas Point, Sabine Pass, TX gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8771367, established 2020. 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.
