About the tides at Menchville
Menchville 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 Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The average range is about 2.5 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Monday, when the range shrinks to 1.9 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.7 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Menchville is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 63 min and lows about 79 min later than there. The nearest other station is Huntington Park, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see South end.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
