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 pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. 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 on October 27, with a range of 1.9 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 0.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.9 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Mill Creek (Grey Point) is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 148 min and lows about 162 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here from 1970 to 1978 to set up these predictions. 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.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
