About the tides at St. James City
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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.6 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.8 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.9 ft, on October 8.
Predictions for St. James City come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Galt Island, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 36 min later. For tidal currents, see Point Ybel, 0.4 mile northwest of.
