About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for Ragged Point, Coles Neck, Va. from the WASHINGTON, Washington Channel, D.C. station: high tides about 0.54× the height, 335 min earlier; low tides about 0.67× the height, 423 min earlier.

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.
