About the tides at Jackson Creek
Jackson Creek has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The mean range is small, about 1.0 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 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 0.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.8 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Jackson Creek is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 96 min and lows about 124 min later than there. The nearest other station is Windmill Point, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min later. For tidal currents, see Bland Point, Piankatank River.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
