About the tides at Chincoteague Island, Oyster Bay

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 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.3 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.

Chincoteague Island, Oyster Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Ocean City, Fishing Pier: highs come about 104 min and lows about 125 min later than there. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, Blake Cove, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later.

Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
