About the tides at Haxall
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. The average range is about 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 24.
Haxall is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Washington, Potomac River: highs come about 250 min and lows about 293 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Jordan Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 55 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Bermuda Hundred.
Predictions are based on Washington, Potomac River.
