Common Questions About Port Aransas, TX Tides

Show All
When is the lowest tide this week in Port Aransas, TX?

The lowest tide this week in Port Aransas, TX is -0.7 ft on Sunday, Jul 12 at 8:15 pm.

When is the highest tide this week in Port Aransas, TX?

The highest tide this week in Port Aransas, TX is 1.1 ft on Sunday, Jul 12 at 7:11 am — worth noting for launching your boat and being alert for possible high tide flooding.

What time does the tide turn (slack tide) in Port Aransas, TX today?

Slack tide in Port Aransas, TX is approximately 11:31 am — midway between the next high and low tide, when tidal current is weakest. This is the preferred window for boat crossings, underwater visibility, and fishing in areas with strong currents.

Is this week a spring tide or neap tide in Port Aransas, TX?

Port Aransas, TX is currently in a transitional phase. Tonight's moon is 29% illuminated. Spring tides (largest swings) occur near new and full moons; neap tides (smallest swings) occur near first and third quarter moons. Tidal ranges this week are shifting between spring and neap.

What datum are Port Aransas, TX tide heights measured from?

Tide heights on this page are measured from Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW), the U.S. NOAA standard. A height of 0 ft represents the 19-year average of each day's lower low tide. Negative values indicate a "minus tide" — water levels below that long-term reference.

What factors can affect the tide predictions for Port Aransas, TX?

Tide predictions for Port Aransas, TX come from NOAA's harmonic analysis and are typically accurate within about ±10 minutes on timing and ±0.5 ft on height. Actual water levels can deviate further due to sustained winds, atmospheric pressure changes, river flow, and storm surge. During major weather events, be sure to check US Harbors weather pages for factors that could impact tidal predictions.

Which NOAA station provides tide data for Port Aransas, TX?

Tide data for Port Aransas, TX is sourced from NOAA Station #8775237. View the official NOAA station page at https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/stationhome.html?id=8775237.

What time is high tide in Port Aransas, TX today?

High tides in Port Aransas, TX today: 5:23 am (0.8 ft).

What time is low tide in Port Aransas, TX today?

Low tides in Port Aransas, TX today: 5:39 pm (-0.4 ft). The 5:39 pm low of -0.4 ft is a minus tide — water below the MLLW reference datum, which can expose tidepools, mudflats, and shellfish beds not normally accessible.

What is the tidal range in Port Aransas, TX today?

Today's tidal range in Port Aransas, TX is 1.2 ft — the difference between the day's highest and lowest water level. This month's average daily range is about 1.0 ft, so today's swing is typical.

What is the moon phase in Port Aransas, TX tonight?

Tonight the moon over Port Aransas, TX is Waning Crescent (29% illuminated). This places Port Aransas, TX in a transitional tide cycle, so tidal ranges are shifting between spring and neap this week.

What type of tides does Port Aransas, TX have — semi-diurnal, diurnal, or mixed?

Port Aransas, TX has diurnal tides — one high tide and one low tide per day, roughly every 24 hours and 50 minutes.

US Harbors Tidal Data

The data in our tide charts, tide tables, and tide graphs is provided by NOAA and others. These predictions are derived mathematically from numerous inputs, including data from historical tide stations and nearby locations where sensors are actively recording. As shown in the tide graph at the top of this page, “Predicted” tides (blue) are what forecasting models expect to happen. “Observed” tides (red) are those recorded by local sensors in real time, overlaid on the predictions for direct comparison. We display Observed water levels for a select group of harbors including Portland, Maine, where a physical sensor monitors water levels in real time.
