About the tides at Jordan Point
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 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 2.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.7 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow tomorrow, when the range shrinks to 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.6 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Jordan Point is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 376 min and lows about 399 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1948 to 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is City Point, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see City Point.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
