About the tides at Beaufort Inlet Channel Range

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. The pattern follows the reference station at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier. On a typical day the water moves about 2.9 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.8 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −1.6 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Fort Macon, 1.0 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Fort Macon, 0.2 mile NE of.

Predictions are based on Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier.
