About the tides at Sturgeon Point

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.4 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. Water here rises and falls only about 2.0 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.9 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.5 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 3.0 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Willcox Wharf, 5 mi away, where high tide comes about 45 min later. For tidal currents, see Brandon Point, 0.3 mile northeast of.

Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
