About the tides at Kingsmill

Kingsmill has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 2.3 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.6 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.2 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on January 24.

Predictions for Kingsmill come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fort Eustis (Marad), 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 16 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Hog Point.
