Where Sabine Pass is
Sabine Pass sits at 29.7284° N, 93.8701° W on the Texas Gulf coast, at Port Arthur, TX. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1985 until 2021, and NOAA still publishes harmonic predictions from that record. There is no live reading here today. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Texas Point, Sabine Pass (NOAA 8770822), 3.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 83 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Texas Point, Sabine Pass, TX, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 3.2 mi away.
The tide at Sabine Pass
Sabine Pass 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 1.6 high tides a day here. The mean range from lower low to higher high is 1.6 ft, and 1.1 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 0.4 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.
About this station
- Highest water on record: 14.3 ft on Sep 13, 2008.

- The National Weather Service counts 4.0 ft as minor flooding here, 5.0 ft as moderate and 6.0 ft as major.
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 Pass from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.6 ft above it and mean sea level 1.0 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Galveston Pier 21, TX gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8770570, established 1985, gauge removed 2021. 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 Sabine Pass this month: Oct 25, Oct 26, Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29. These spring highs push water up into the grass and over the oyster rock; prime for poling into flooded marsh for tailing reds.
🔻 Negative (minus) low tides at Sabine Pass this month: Oct 27, Oct 28, Oct 29, Oct 30. These drain the flats and expose the oyster rock, prime for sight-fishing and clamming.
Best fishing times (solunar)
Major and minor solunar windows for Sabine Pass, peak feeding activity is around the moon overhead/underfoot (majors) and moonrise/moonset (minors). Score is the day's activity coefficient (0–100).
