About the tides at Long Creek
Long Creek has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, on Sunday.
Long Creek is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Broad Bay Canal, 0.5 mi away, where high tide comes about 50 min later. For tidal currents, see Lynnhaven Roads.
