About the tides at Great Machipongo Inlet (inside)

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. The average range is about 3.8 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 5.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 4.1 ft.

Great Machipongo Inlet (inside) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Upshur Neck, 7 mi away.
