Tide questions

What time is high tide in Houston, TX today?

Today's high and low tide times for Houston, TX are shown above, from NOAA's official CO-OPS predictions for the Buffalo Bayou, Houston Ship Channel station. Times are in the station's local time.

How far is the tide station from Houston, TX?

The reference NOAA station (Buffalo Bayou, Houston Ship Channel) is about 2.5 km from Houston, TX's center. Tide times shift along the coast, so the further from the station you are, the more local conditions can differ.

Why do tides shift about 50 minutes later each day?

The moon rises about 50 minutes later each day because it moves forward in its orbit while the Earth rotates. The tides follow the moon, so each day's high and low tides land roughly 50 minutes later on the clock.
