Where Bayport is
Bayport sits at 37.7550° N, 76.6733° W on the Chesapeake Bay, about 9 mi northwest of Urbanna, VA, in Middlesex. The station here is a subordinate tide prediction point. NOAA has no gauge in the water at this spot; its times and heights are published as offsets from a reference gauge, named below. The closest gauge measuring live water level is Lewisetta, Va. (NOAA 8635750), 20.2 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 59 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Tappahannock-Essex County Airport, an airport reporting wind, visibility and sky cover, but no water temperature, 14.1 mi away.
The tide at Bayport
Bayport has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. For the water around it: Chesapeake tides are semidiurnal but small, 1 to 3 ft, and arrive many hours after the ocean tide as the wave works up the bay and its rivers.
About this station

Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA publishes no datums for this point. Its predictions are offsets from Hampton Roads (Sewells Point) and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 8636261. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
