About the tides at Beaufort

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 3.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.5 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.4 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −1.0 ft on January 23.

Duke Marine Lab is a NOAA water level station with a live gauge, updated every 6 minutes. Predictions come from the station's own tide records. It also reports water temperature and wind. It was established in 1964. The nearest other station is Gallant Channel, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 17 min later. For tidal currents, see Radio Island, E of.
