About These Tides

Predictions are fetched live from theNOAA CO-OPS Data API. The four stations cover the Hampton Roads / Chesapeake Bay entrance and the Virginia Beach oceanfront, and southern (Kiptopeke) coastline. All heights are relative to the MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water) datum and shown in feet; times are in local lst_ldt time.

Tide timing matters for surf fishing: many anglers target the two hours around a tide change — especially the incoming high. Use the chart above to spot the week’s biggest swings, then plan your trip around slack water and peak current.
