About the tides at Rappahannock Light

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.9 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.2 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on August 5.

Predictions for Rappahannock Light come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 1997. The nearest other station is Gaskins Point, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min later. For tidal currents, see Stingray Point, 12.5 miles east of.
