About the tides at Hopyard Landing

Hopyard Landing has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The pattern follows the reference station at Washington, Potomac River. Water here rises and falls only about 1.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.5 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.7 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 24.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Washington, Potomac River, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Park Turn, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Port Royal.

Predictions are based on Washington, Potomac River.
