About the tides at Dahlgren

Dahlgren has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.6 ft on January 23.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature and air pressure. It was established in 1970. The nearest other station is Lower Cedar Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 35 min later. For tidal currents, see Dahlgren Harbor Channel.
