About the tides at Fort Eustis (Marad)

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 2.2 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.5 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.1 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 24.

Predictions for Fort Eustis (Marad) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2010 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kingsmill, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see Deepwater Shoals.
