Tides in Grandview-Woodlands
Today's high and low tides
- ▼ Low tide 1:40 am 1.2 ft
- ▲ High tide 8:59 am 15.0 ft · coef. 87
- ▼ Low tide 2:14 pm 10.7 ft
- ▲ High tide 6:55 pm 13.9 ft · coef. 86
↓ Falling The tide is falling. 3 h 5 min to low tide at 2:24 am.
Tide coefficient 87 for the 8:59 am high tide and 86 for the 6:55 pm high tide. Average coefficient. The water rises and falls 13.8 ft between the highest high and the lowest low: a large range for this place. 70 is an average tide here; 90 and above means spring tides; below 45, neap tides. What is the tide coefficient?
2026 extremes: the highest tide of the year is on January 4 (16.2 ft) and the lowest, on June 15 (-0.5 ft).
Mixed: two high and two low tides a day, but of quite different heights.
Heights above lower low water, large tide (LLWLT), the zero of Canadian charts. Astronomical prediction: wind and air pressure can raise or lower the water by a few inches, and more in a storm. Not for navigation. LLWLT
Tide coefficient and range in October
The biggest tides of the month came from October 9 to 11 (coefficient 89, 10.5 ft range). The smallest, on October 18 (coefficient 38, 9.1 ft).

The sea at Grandview-Woodlands
Sea stateSea state: smooth
The waves you may find
- Most commonMost common0.3 ft
- Significant0.7 ft
- Highest expectedHighest1.4 ft
One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 1.4 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 1.4 ft.
Wind on the coast and offshore
Cross-onshore wind. The coast faces north and the wind comes in from the sea at an angle: a bit more surf at the shore and drift along the coast, toward land.
Wave height, next 7 daysWaves, next 7 days
Waves stay much the same all week. The biggest waves arrive on Wednesday 28: 1.1 ft with a period of 3 s, from the south (smooth).
Water temperature
Water temperature →Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water cools over the next few days: about 52.2 °F by Tuesday 3.
Water warmer than normal for late October (+2.5 °F).

The moon in Grandview-Woodlands
Moon phase and position
Today the moon is 226,426 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.
Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:27–4:27 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:11 am–12:11 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 6:40–7:40 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity
According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
