Wind and weather at Matagorda

Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.

Boating, beach and fishing at Matagorda

The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.

Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Sun and moon

Solunar windows for Matagorda

The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Times are local to Matagorda (America/Chicago).

Questions about Matagorda tides

Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.

What time is high tide in Matagorda today?

High water at 3:22 pm (0.6 ft), local time in Matagorda. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.

How many tides does Matagorda get in a day?

Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 10 high waters and 10 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.

What is the tidal range at Matagorda?

Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.1 and 0.6 ft — a span of about 0.5 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.

Which tide station do these Matagorda tide times come from?

NOAA station 8773146, East Matagorda — a reference station, about 5.4 km from the centre of Matagorda. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.

What time zone are the Matagorda tide times in?

Every time on this page is clock time in Matagorda — the America/Chicago zone, daylight saving already applied. Nothing has to be converted, and no time is shown in UTC except the retrieval stamp at the foot of the page.

When are the solunar windows at Matagorda today?

The major windows run 12:04 am to 2:04 am and 12:31 pm to 2:31 pm, with shorter minor windows around moonrise and moonset. They are computed from the moon's position over Matagorda, not measured — anglers use them to pick a time on the water. The moon is 0% lit and waning.
