About this station
NOAA builds the predictions for Yorktown, Goodwin Neck from the HAMPTON ROADS (Sewells Point) station: high tides about 0.90× the height, 18 min later; low tides about 0.83× the height, 15 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.
