About the tides at Bellevue

Bellevue has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. On a typical day the water moves about 2.6 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on June 5 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Washington, Potomac River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Alexandria, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hains Point.

Predictions are based on Washington, Potomac River.
