The tide at Galveston

The Gulf runs a small, slow, often once-a-day tide. Galveston’s beaches are flat enough that even a modest range moves the waterline a long way.

What the water does here

Galveston runs one high and one low a day. Between low and high the water moves about 1.1 feet, averaged across a week of predictions.

A Wavepane on the wall shows that as a picture rather than a table: the water sits where the water sits, and the wave on top grows or flattens with the swell outside. It wakes every half hour, redraws, and goes back to sleep. Nothing to open, nothing to check.
