About the tides at Chesconessex Creek

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. Water here rises and falls only about 1.7 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.4 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.7 ft, on Sunday.

Chesconessex Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Onancock, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min later. For tidal currents, see Watts Island, 2.3 n.mi. east of.
