About the tides at Windmill Point

Windmill Point has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 10, with a range of 1.5 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 1.2 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 Windmill Point Light, 3 mi away, where high tide comes about 9 min later. For tidal currents, see Windmill Point, 1.0 n.mi SSW of.
