About the tides at Southern Chincoteague Island

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. The average range is about 2.7 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 3.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.9 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Chincoteague Channel (south end), 0.3 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later.
