Wind and weather at Chincoteague

Seven days from the National Weather Service forecast for this stretch of coast. Each row is the range across the whole day, not a reading for one moment.

Boating, beach and fishing at Chincoteague

The same forecast as above, read for three things people do here. Each verdict names what decided it.

Boating turns to Poor at the National Weather Service small craft threshold — sustained wind of 22 kn, gusts of 26 kn, or seas of 5 ft — and to Fair at 15 kn or 3 ft. Beach weighs air temperature, chance of rain and wind.Fishing asks whether the day is fishable at all and whether a solunar major window falls in daylight; it is not a prediction of what will bite. None of this replaces the marine forecast before you go out.

Sun and moon

Solunar windows for Chincoteague

The moon pulls hardest when it is directly overhead or on the far side of the earth — the two major windows of about two hours. The shorter minor windows sit around moonrise and moonset. Anglers use them to pick a time on the water; they are computed from the moon's position, not measured.

Times are local to Chincoteague (America/New_York).

Questions about Chincoteague tides

Answered from the same NOAA predictions as the table above; the solunar windows come from this page's own moon calculation. Where this page has no basis for an answer, there is no entry.

What time is high tide in Chincoteague today?

High water at 10:27 am (2.3 ft) and 10:48 pm (2.0 ft), local time in Chincoteague. Heights are feet above MLLW. Because the tide runs on the moon rather than the clock, each turn falls roughly 50 minutes later tomorrow — the seven-day table above carries the shift.

What time is low tide in Chincoteague today?

Low water at 4:29 am (0.3 ft) and 5:03 pm (0.3 ft), local time in Chincoteague. A height below zero is a minus tide: the water falls further than MLLW, the level the heights are counted from.

How many tides does Chincoteague get in a day?

Two high waters and two low waters on most days, a little over six hours apart. Over the seven days on this page that comes to 13 high waters and 14 low waters. Where a date shows only three turns, the fourth has slipped past midnight and is listed under the following day.

What is the tidal range at Chincoteague?

About 1.9 ft between today's lowest and highest water. Across the next seven days the water moves between 0.3 and 2.3 ft — a span of about 1.9 ft. The range is widest around new and full moon and narrowest at the quarters, so it changes from week to week.

Which tide station do these Chincoteague tide times come from?

NOAA station 8630249, Chincoteague Island, USCG Station — a reference station, about 3.3 km from the centre of Chincoteague. A reference station has its own long-running record, which is the strongest basis NOAA publishes. The predictions here are NOAA's, unchanged.

When are the solunar windows at Chincoteague today?
