About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Ferry Point (bridge) from the HAMPTON ROADS (Sewells Point) station: high tides about 0.78× the height, 241 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 266 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.
