Lake Corpus Christi water level

What this level means

Station 08210500, Lk Corpus Christi nr Mathis, TX, publishes the water surface elevation used here. The conservation pool tops out at 94.0 ft. The last value stored here, 92.33 ft, is from 2026-09-09. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 74.73 ft and 92.95 ft (low on 2026-04-17, high on 2026-08-16). Conservation capacity is 256,062 acre-feet. That put the reservoir at 87% of its conservation capacity. A falling pool widens the beaches and shortens the ramps, so it is worth checking before you drive out.

How this reading is taken

USGS gauge 08210500 measures the water surface and publishes the value continuously. This page stores the latest reading at build time and refreshes the record daily, so the figure above is a real measurement rather than a model or an estimate.

Full pool for Lake Corpus Christi is 94.0 ft, so the gap between the reading and that number is what the reservoir is missing.

Elevations are given in feet above the gauge datum used by the operating agency. Two lakes are only comparable with each other through how full they are, not through their raw elevation, because each dam sits at a different height.
