About the tides at Chincoteague Island, Lewis 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. The pattern follows the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.0 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Chincoteague Island, Lewis Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ocean City, Fishing Pier: highs come about 77 min and lows about 98 min later than there. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min earlier.
Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
