About the Tides at Port Lavaca
Port Lavaca gets just one high tide and one low tide on most days, instead of the two a day many coasts see. On a typical day the water rises and falls about 1.1 feet.
Over the next two weeks the biggest tides come on Wednesday, November 11, when the water moves about 1.2 feet. The lowest water is -0.1 ft on Saturday, November 14 at 5:14 PM, and the highest is 1.2 ft on Sunday, November 8 at 10:56 PM. A minus tide like that uncovers the most beach, flats and tide pools.
NOAA station 8773259 here measures the water live and reports its temperature. Minor flooding starts when the water reaches 2.5 ft.
