This is way better than the usual right wing ragebait that seems to litter the sub. I can actually jerk off to this

On the northeastern shore, there are many signs warning people not to swim there. This is why. Under the bay, which is naturally very shallow (no more than 3 meters deep), the Houston Ship Channel was dredged to a depth of up to 14 meters to allow for large ships to access the Port of Houston. This creates some rapid currents that will eject any swimmer into the Gulf of Mexico.

I genuinely thought I was looking at an alien organism draining our ocean from outer space there

Most of Galveston Bay's tide comes and goes through one gap, Bolivar Roads, between Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula. At its strongest this week, the surface water there ran at about 3.4 knots.
Early in the week the tide turned only once a day, as it often does on the Gulf. By midweek it was turning twice.
These are the bay's surface currents hour by hour from 21 to 28 September 2026, colored by water temperature. Trinity Bay and West Bay stayed a degree or two cooler than the open Gulf.
