About the tides at West Point

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. On a typical day the water moves about 2.8 ft between high and low. That is larger than most Virginia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.6 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.9 ft, on Monday.

West Point is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Roane Point, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 25 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Lord Delaware Bridge, 100 yds. S of.
