About the tides at Wolf Trap Light

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Virginia stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.0 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on October 20. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.4 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 Mobjack, 9 mi away, where high tide comes about 15 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Wolf Trap Light, 0.5 mile west of.

Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
