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. 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, 1.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.6 ft, on Sunday.

Franklin City is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Island, Blake Cove, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 29 min earlier.
