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. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.1 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, Lewis Creek, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 28 min later.
