Port O'Connor Tide Chart And NOAA Station 8773701
Use NOAA CO-OPS station 8773701 as the Port O'Connor tide-table reference, then compare its predicted times and heights with current TideCue conditions and the exact water you plan to fish. TideCue keeps tide height, tidal current, and slack timing separate instead of treating one as a substitute for another.
- Station reference
- NOAA CO-OPS station 8773701 at Port O'Connor, Texas.

Start With NOAA Port O'Connor Station 8773701
NOAA CO-OPS identifies station 8773701 at Port O'Connor, Texas, at 28.4517, -96.3883. Use that station identifier when comparing tide predictions, and confirm the date, time zone, and vertical datum before copying a time or height from another table.
For the fishing decision around that station reference, compare Port O'Connor fishing conditions and bite windows.
Read Predicted Time And Height Together
NOAA tide tables provide daily predicted high and low times and heights. The time identifies the predicted event, while the height is tied to the selected vertical datum. Keep both values and their settings together so a height from one datum is not mistaken for the same water level in another.
Keep The Station Attached To The Exact Water
Station 8773701 is the named Port O'Connor reference, but a station prediction should not be treated as an exact minute-by-minute answer for every bay, pass, channel, shoreline, or back-lake access. Confirm the most appropriate official prediction and local access information for the precise water you plan to visit.
Separate Tide Height From Tidal Current And Slack
A tide prediction describes the vertical rise and fall of water level. A tidal-current prediction describes horizontal water movement, and the timing of slack current does not necessarily match a predicted high or low. Use the appropriate NOAA current product when current speed, direction, or slack timing matters.
Recheck Current Conditions Before Leaving
A tide chart is a prediction product, not a live safety report. Check TideCue conditions and the current National Weather Service marine forecast close to departure, then follow active warnings, closures, and on-site access conditions when they conflict with a selected window.
Use The Port O'Connor Chart As A Planning Reference
Start with the next predicted change at station 8773701, then compare it with daylight, marine conditions, safe access, and the exact saved water in TideCue. This keeps the station reference useful without turning a predicted event into a catch guarantee or a claim about every nearby water.

Common questions
Which NOAA tide station does TideCue use for Port O'Connor?
This page uses NOAA CO-OPS station 8773701 at Port O'Connor, Texas, as its tide-table reference.
What does the Port O'Connor tide chart show?
It shows predicted high and low times and heights for station 8773701 for the selected date, time zone, and vertical datum.
Is high or low tide the same as slack current?
Not necessarily. Tide height and tidal current are different products, and slack-current timing can differ from a predicted high or low.
Does station 8773701 give the exact tide for every nearby fishing spot?
No. Use it as the named Port O'Connor reference, then verify the appropriate official prediction, current product, and local conditions for the exact water you will visit.
What should I check before leaving for Port O'Connor?
Recheck the station, date, time zone, datum, TideCue conditions, the current National Weather Service marine forecast, access, and any active warning or closure.
