About the tides at Wares Wharf

Wares Wharf has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. The mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 2.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.7 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Tappahannock, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 49 min later. For tidal currents, see Accaceek Point, 0.3 mile southwest of.
