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 1.8 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.6 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on February 21.

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 1971 to 2009 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Tappahannock, 6 mi away, where high tide comes about 37 min later. For tidal currents, see Accaceek Point, 0.3 mile southwest of.
