• Area Tide Charts This last one needs some explaining... I ran across a tidal graph chart that I though might help some of us with deep drafts in determining if we wanted to chance leaving the marina or not.

  Once you get to the above link, scroll to the bottom of the page.

  On the right will be a drop down box where you will want to select "Mesquite Point, Sabine Pass". You can also elect to view today's chart or tomorrow's chart.

  Once you have input this information, click on the "SEARCH" button and wait a moment or two.

  I found this much more helpful than the standard numeric readouts we are all used to.
