About the tides at Mill Creek (Grey Point)
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.2 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 1.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft.
Mill Creek (Grey Point) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Dixie, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 54 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Mosquito Point, 0.9 mile SSE of.
