About the tides at Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Duck, Frf Pier. On a typical day the water moves about 3.3 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.1 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −1.0 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Duck, Frf Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Rudee Inlet, 0.8 mi away. For tidal currents, see Cape Henry Light, 2.2 miles southeast of.

Predictions are based on Duck, Frf Pier.
