About this station

NOAA builds the predictions for West Point from the HAMPTON ROADS (Sewells Point) station: high tides about 1.14× the height, 132 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 158 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.
