About the tides at Tangier 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 mean range is small, about 1.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.8 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.1 ft on December 24, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on January 23.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1979 to 2006 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Watts Island, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 11 min later. For tidal currents, see Tangier Sound Light, 1.5 miles NE of.
