About the tides at Yorktown, Goodwin Neck
Yorktown, Goodwin Neck has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Sewells Point, Hampton Roads. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak on October 27, with a range of 3.1 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.6 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.2 ft on September 30, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 23.
Yorktown, Goodwin Neck is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Sewells Point, Hampton Roads: highs come about 18 min and lows about 15 min later than there. The nearest other station is Yorktown, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see South edge of channel.
Predictions are based on Sewells Point, Hampton Roads.
