About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Virginia Beach from the DUCK PIER station: high tides about 1.07× the height, 15 min later; low tides about 1.07× the height, 16 min later.
Barrier islands, big bays, and river tides: Chesapeake and Delaware bays carry the tide deep inland, and a nor'easter can hold water in, or blow it out, for days at a time.
