Where Umbrella Point, Trinity Bay is
Umbrella Point, Trinity Bay sits at 29.6800° N, 94.8683° W on the Texas Gulf coast, at Beach City, TX, in Chambers County. The station here is a historical NOAA reference station: a gauge measured the tide at this spot from 1994 until 1996, 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), 7.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 4 min later than there. The nearest weather station is Morgans Point, TX, a shore station reporting wind and, at most sites, water temperature, 7.0 mi away.
The tide at Umbrella Point, Trinity Bay
Umbrella Point, Trinity Bay 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 1.3 ft, and 1.1 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 Umbrella Point, Trinity Bay from the 1983-2001 National Tidal Datum Epoch; mean higher high water is 1.3 ft above it and mean sea level 0.7 ft. These datums are controlled from NOAA's Galveston Pier 21, TX gauge. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8770625, established 1994, gauge removed 1996. The tide times and heights are NOAA's official harmonic predictions for this station; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
