About the tides at Harborton
Harborton has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.6 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.3 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.
Harborton is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Onancock, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 44 min later. For tidal currents, see Watts Island, 4 miles south of.
