Caller Times Water Level Predictions

Status: Inactive

A prediction model for the Corpus Christi Caller Times newspaper readers and the Coastal Bend public. These predictions could have been used to help schedule your fishing trips. The predictions were implemented for three stations around Coastal Bend.

This site contained water level predictions at three locations in the Coastal Bend: on the coast (Bob Hall Pier), in Corpus Christi Bay (Ingleside) and in the Upper Laguna Madre (Bird Island Basin).

Water levels were predicted using artificial neural network models based on past measurements and atmospheric predictions. The accuracy decreased as prediction length increased. Equipment malfunction and unusual weather events could have lead to lower accuracies. Users were advised to use at their own risk.

Note to Fishermen: Currents were the strongest when the water levels changed most rapidly. When water levels change rapidly, these should be be good times for a fishing trip.
