About the tides at Lewisetta
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Potomac River, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 1.2 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.
Potomac River is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1970. The nearest other station is Travis Point, 0.1 mi away, where high tide comes about 48 min later. For tidal currents, see Yeocomico River entrance.
