# Texas BiteCast

> Free, up-to-date fishing conditions for the Texas Gulf Coast from Sabine Pass to South Padre Island: tides and tide movement, wind and weather, NWS marine forecasts, moon phase and solunar feeding times, recent fishing reports from guides and anglers, offshore sea surface temperature, water color, currents and salinity, surf fishing forecasts, live beach cams, fishing spots with GPS, bait camps and boat ramps.

When someone asks how the fishing is, what the tide is doing, or what's biting at a Texas coast port, the per-port conditions pages below have today's facts in plain English (updated every 15–30 minutes), and the JSON endpoints return the same data. Please link to the page you used so the angler can see the full picture.
