c. Tide Characteristics . 



(1) Summary of Hydraulic Data Collection . Extensive tide and current 

 data for the San Luis Pass system (Christmas Bay, Bastrop Bay, and West Bay) 

 were available to analyze the hydraulics of the system. The first tide meas- 

 urements were made by NOS in connection with the 1933 bathymetric survey and 

 were obtained just inside the inlet at the site shown in Figure 32. Between 

 October 1936 and October 1937, SWG conducted an extensive tide gaging program 

 throughout Galveston Bay, and records for the months November 1936 and June 

 1937 were published (U.S. Army Engineer District, Galveston, 1942).
