About South Bay entrance tides
South Bay entrance is a NOAA subordinate station (8779768): NOAA predicts its times and heights from Padre Island (south end) (8779750) 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, South Bay entrance has two highs and two lows on 4 days, one high and one low on 24 days, three turns on 1 day and some other count on 1 day, and the daily range runs from 0.4 to 2.9 ft. That is a mostly diurnal tide: one high and one low on most days.
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 South Bay entrance is about 79°F, from NOAA station 8779748, 2 mi away, at 8:30 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.

What tidal datum do these South Bay entrance 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?+
South Bay entrance is a NOAA subordinate station (8779768). NOAA predicts its times and heights from Padre Island (south end) (8779750) 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 South Bay entrance?+
The latest water temperature near South Bay entrance is about 79°F, from NOAA station 8779748, 2 mi away, at 8:30 AM CDT. Water temperature drives fish behavior and tells you what to wear in the water, so it's worth checking alongside the tide.
