About the tides at Atlantic Beach

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. On a typical day the water moves about 3.7 ft between high and low. That is larger than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 4.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 5.2 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −1.1 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Atlantic Beach come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1972 to 2000 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Fort Macon, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 23 min later. For tidal currents, see Sugarloaf Island, 0.2 mile S of.
