About the tides at Yorktown

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. On a typical day the water moves about 2.2 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.9 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 2.2 ft, on Sunday.

Predictions for Yorktown come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Gloucester Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min later. For tidal currents, see Gloucester Point, 150 yds. southeast of.
