Solunar theory says fish feed more when the moon is overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 hours) and around moonrise and moonset (minor periods, about 1 hour). We score each day from 1 to 10 by checking when those periods happen, using the NOAA tide predictions for station 8638442 and the sun times for this spot:
| Base | every day starts at 1 | 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Sunrise / sunset | a period overlaps sunrise or sunset ±1 h: major +2, minor +1 (max 3) (Moon overhead × sunset +2) | 2 |
| Tide | a NOAA high or low falls inside a period (tide change): major +2, minor +1; moving water during a major period (no high/low within 1 h of it) +1 (max 4) (Moon underfoot – tide change +2; Moon overhead – tide change +2) | 4 |
| Moon phase | within 2 days of a new or full moon +2, within 4 days +1 (today: 4.4 days) | 0 |
| Today | 7, rounded | 7/10 |
1–3 poor · 4–5 fair · 6–7 good · 8–10 excellent. Solunar times are a rule of thumb, not a guarantee: weather, water temperature and bait matter a lot. Tide changes and moving water are specific to this station, so nearby spots can score differently.
Solunar periods calculated for 37.26, -76.88 (moon times from astronomical equations, local time). Not a fishing forecast.

Times are local (standard/daylight). Heights in feet above MLLW.
Its predictions are NOAA time and height offsets from reference station Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) (8638610, 37 mi southeast).
Ferry Point (Bridge) has a semidiurnal tide: two high tides and two low tides of similar height each day. The average rise or fall between high and low tide is 1.8 ft, growing to about 2.4 ft at spring tides (around new and full moon) and shrinking to about 1.6 ft at neap tides (around the quarter moons). The highest tide predicted in the next 12 months is 2.8 ft on October 1, 2027 at 2:37 PM; the lowest is -0.7 ft on January 23, 2027 at 7:37 AM, and 205 low tides in that period drop below zero (MLLW).
From Fri, Nov 13 to Thu, Nov 19, high tides at Ferry Point (Bridge) range from 1.6 ft to 2.1 ft; the biggest is on Fri, Nov 13 at 3:21 PM. The lowest low is 0.4 ft on Thu, Nov 19 at 2:10 AM. Low tides in daylight (sunrise to sunset): Fri 9:16 AM (0.4 ft); Sat 9:57 AM (0.5 ft); Sun 10:45 AM (0.6 ft); Mon 11:40 AM (0.6 ft); Tue 12:39 PM (0.6 ft); Wed 1:43 PM (0.6 ft); Thu 2:46 PM (0.5 ft).
Tide statistics computed from NOAA high/low predictions for Oct 2026 – Oct 2027; heights in feet above MLLW. Predictions are astronomical and do not include weather.
