About the tides at Rudee Inlet

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. On a typical day the water moves about 3.3 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.7 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.7 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Sunday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.6 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Rudee Inlet come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Rudee Inlet entrance, 0.3 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Cape Henry Light, 2.2 miles southeast of.
