About the tides at Huntington Park
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 pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 25, with a range of 3.3 ft. Neap tides follow on October 20, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.8 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.8 ft on January 23.
Huntington Park is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 38 min and lows about 39 min later than there. The nearest other station is Newport News, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Newport News Shipbuilding.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
