Where does this tide data come from?

From NOAA CO-OPS, the U.S. government tide station network (tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov); the predictions are public domain. Alligator Point, West Bay is a subordinate station: NOAA derives its times and heights from the reference station Galveston, Galveston Channel with fixed corrections. The curve between highs and lows is our interpolation. This page is not for navigation.
