About the tides at Puddledock

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 2.8 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.1 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1978 to 2003 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is City Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 33 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Appomattox River entrance.
