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. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. On a typical day the water moves about 2.7 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 3.9 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 2.2 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.0 ft on September 30 and bottom out at −0.7 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. 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.
