Outgoing Tide Question

[MackFisherman2]

Assuming no wind what is the approximate dividing line in West Bay where water on one side of a theoretical line moves east on an outgoing tide and west on the other side of the line before eventually heading between the Jetties or out San Luis Pass? I know that wind, freshwater runoff, other factors, etc. effect actual tidal patterns but in theory what should be the dividing line.

Karankawa

Good question , I don't know . A half way point seems logical . JT 's Karankawa ....I couldn't argue otherwise . Let's see what others say but JT 's Karankawa rings true .

depends on the wind

This is an awesome question.

Your grandpa is a smart man.

And the question was asked "assuming no wind"

I've always considered karankawa too. It's always been a tidal point 2 hours and 38 minutes different from the pass.

[plugger]

No , it's a difference of 2 hours and 37 minutes .

A wise old salt (Cookie Pepper) told me karankawa.

I've always wanted to ask that question. It seems logical that the reef would be the spot. I did look at the satellite photo a few times just to see what I could see. I've seen a photo that looks like more silt is on the southwest side. Is it possible that the water flows more towards the bridge there and that the true "split" in the water is further south? I'm thinking the predominate flow heads toward the bridge thus more silt gets caught on the up current side?
