About the tides at Lake Rudee

Lake Rudee 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 Duck, Frf Pier. The average range is about 3.4 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 5.0 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 5.0 ft on October 1, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.

Lake Rudee is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Duck, Frf Pier: highs come about 20 min and lows about 19 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1984 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rudee Heights, 0.4 mi away. For tidal currents, see Cape Henry Light, 2.2 miles southeast of.

Predictions are based on Duck, Frf Pier.
