About the tides at Hollidays Point (Kings Highway bridge)
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The average range is about 2.6 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Tuesday, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.4 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −1.4 ft on January 23.
Hollidays Point (Kings Highway bridge) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 56 min and lows about 63 min later than there. The nearest other station is Town Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Dumpling Island.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
