About the tides at Smithfield

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. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 3.6 ft. Neap tides follow on October 19, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft. 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.

Smithfield is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 94 min and lows about 98 min later than there. The nearest other station is Burwell Bay, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min earlier. For tidal currents, see South end.

Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
