About the tides at Norfolk
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 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 average range is about 2.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.0 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Norfolk is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 23 min and lows about 20 min later than there. The nearest other station is Portsmouth, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 19 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Berkley Bridge, Eastern Branch.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
