About the tides at Jamestown
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 mean range is small, about 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.0 ft.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Scotland, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Jamestown Island, Church Point.
