About Point Au Fer tides
Point Au Fer is a NOAA subordinate station (8764256): NOAA predicts its times and heights from Galveston, Galveston Channel, TX (8771450) with offsets for this spot, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact prediction. Heights are in feet above MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water), the datum of US nautical charts, so they line up with charted depths.
In the next 30 days, Point Au Fer has two highs and two lows on 11 days, one high and one low on 12 days, three turns on 5 days and some other count on 2 days, and the daily range runs from 0.7 to 3.5 ft. That is a mixed tide: some days bring two highs and two lows of clearly different heights, others only one of each.
Use the curve above to time a harbor entrance, a beach walk, fishing a moving tide or clearing a shallow bar, and remember that wind, air pressure and river flow can push the real water level above or below the prediction. The daily tidal range in the tables shows how much water moves each day: bigger ranges around the new and full moon mean stronger currents.
The latest water temperature near Point Au Fer is about 73°F, from NOAA station 8764314, 3 mi away, at 5:00 AM CDT. Water temperature shapes where fish hold and feed, and tells you what to wear in the water, so check it alongside the tide before you head out.
Frequently asked
What time is high tide in Point Au Fer today?+

What time is low tide in Point Au Fer today?+
Today, low tide at Point Au Fer is at 12:30 PM (0.1 ft).
What tidal datum do these Point Au Fer tide heights use?+
All heights are given in feet relative to MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water), the standard NOAA chart datum for US tidal waters. A tide of 0.0 ft equals the chart datum; negative tides fall below it.
How accurate are these tide predictions?+
Point Au Fer is a NOAA subordinate station (8764256). NOAA predicts its times and heights from Galveston, Galveston Channel, TX (8771450) with offsets for this spot, so treat them as a close guide rather than an exact prediction. Real water levels can also differ with wind, air pressure and river flow.
What is the water temperature at Point Au Fer?+
The latest water temperature near Point Au Fer is about 73°F, from NOAA station 8764314, 3 mi away, at 5:00 AM CDT. Water temperature drives fish behavior and tells you what to wear in the water, so it's worth checking alongside the tide.
