About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for South Bay entrance from the PADRE ISLAND (south end) station: high tides about 0.91× the height, 14 min later; low tides about 0.94× the height, 21 min later.
Texas tides are small and mostly diurnal, and the bays answer wind and season more than the moon. A strong norther can drain a flat in an afternoon.
