About the tides at Wakema (Fraziers Ferry)

Wakema (Fraziers Ferry) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.1 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.3 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 3.1 ft, on Monday.

Wakema (Fraziers Ferry) is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Lester Manor, 7 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 21 m later. For tidal currents, see Wakema, Mattaponi River.
