Norfolk tides

Predicted from Norfolk, NOAA station 8638654, 0 miles away. The tide takes hours to travel up the Chesapeake. What arrives at Cape Henry in the morning reaches the Potomac well into the afternoon, and the range changes as it goes. The figures below are for this gauge and no other, so do not read a bay-wide tide from them. Heights in feet above MLLW. Also covers Ocean View Beach, Willoughby Spit, Sewells Point and the Elizabeth River.

About Norfolk

Blending rich naval history with miles of bayside beaches, Norfolk's coastal stretch covers Ocean View Beach, Willoughby Spit, Sewells Point, and the Elizabeth River. The community enjoys sailing, relaxing on the calm bay beaches, and watching massive naval vessels navigate the deep-water channels. Beachgoers at Ocean View and Willoughby Spit utilize the tide charts to plan their perfect day; a high tide brings clear, calm water into the Chesapeake Bay for ideal swimming, while a low tide opens up the shoreline for long, uninterrupted walks.
