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.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
