About the tides at Kinsale

Kinsale has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. 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 on October 10, with a range of 1.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 0.9 ft.

Kinsale is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Travis Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 14 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Yeocomico River entrance.
