About the tides at Fishermans Island

Fishermans Island has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 2.9 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.0 ft.

Fishermans Island is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Smith Island (Coast Guard Station), 4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Fishermans I., 0.4 mile west of.
