Port Aransas NOAA Tide Station 8775237

About NOAA station 8775237

The Port Aransas station sits beside a major Gulf pass connecting bays, ship channels, jetties, beaches, nearshore platforms, and offshore water.

Why people check this station

It helps with bay depth, jetty current, shoreline stages, harbor operations, and planning a route through the pass toward Gulf fishing grounds.

How to interpret the prediction locally

Ship traffic, wind, waves, and strong channel flow require separate checks. Wind-driven water can also make actual bay level differ from the prediction.

Tide height is not current speed

A high or low prediction describes the expected water level at the gauge. Current can turn earlier or later in a nearby inlet, river, bridge opening, pass, or channel. NOAA publishes separate current predictions for supported locations, and local weather can move the observed level above or below the astronomical prediction.

Basic station-planning checklist

1. Confirm that station 8775237 represents the water you intend to use.
2. Note the predicted high and low times, heights, and overall range.
3. Check wind, waves, visibility, precipitation, and official warnings.
4. Allow for the local offset between the gauge and your exact location.
5. Verify actual water, access, navigation, and regulations before departure.

Planning only: Data can be delayed, unavailable, or unrepresentative of a nearby micro-location. Never use this page as a substitute for official charts, notices, warnings, or direct observation.
