About the tides at Lester Manor
Tides here follow a regular twice-daily rhythm. The two daily highs usually differ by only 0.3 ft. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.3 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.8 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.7 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −0.3 ft on August 4.
Predictions for Lester Manor come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1912 to 2007 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Wakema (Fraziers Ferry), 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 16 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Lester Manor, Pamunkey River.
