Galveston is diurnal — about one high (1.2 ft today) and one low per day. The tide here is gentle — the water moves about 0.9 ft between high and low on an average swing this week, so timing matters less than on big-tide coasts. A 1.0 ft swing — Galveston's biggest this table — runs from the 6:49 PM low on Fri Sep 18 into the next high. Galveston tops out at 1.4 ft (Sat Sep 19 7:23 AM) and bottoms at 0.4 ft (Wed Sep 16 4:47 PM).
Galveston mid-swing times below mark predicted peak flow on its 0.9 ft average cycle (why moving water matters):
Sea surface temperature 13 km away at Galveston Texas Gulf is currently 31.2 °C (88.1 °F), 5.6 °C above the seasonal normal, from satellite and ocean-model data refreshed daily.
Galveston numbers: NOAA CO-OPS #8771262 (Texas City, Galveston Bay), 10.5 km off Galveston center; this open-water pick beat 2 closer-in candidates. With only 0.9 ft of average swing at Galveston, wind and pressure can move the real water line more than the tide itself does — treat these times as the schedule, not the whole story.
