About the tides at Chincoteague Island

Chincoteague Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1976 to 1982 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, Lewis Creek, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later.
