About the tides at Franklin City

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier. Water here rises and falls only about 0.6 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. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.1 ft on October 28 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Ocean City, Fishing Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, Blake Cove, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier.

Predictions are based on Ocean City, Fishing Pier.
