About the tides at Browns Bay

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The mean range is small, about 2.0 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.5 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.3 ft on January 23.

Browns Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 11 min and lows about 3 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Tue Marshes Light, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Tue Marshes Light, 0.7 n.mi. north of.

Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
