About the tides at Beaufort, Taylor Creek

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 2.8 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.2 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.4 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.0 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.3 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −1.1 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. NOAA measured the tide here in 1996 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Lenoxville Point, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 26 min later. For tidal currents, see Bird Shoal, SE of.

Predictions are based on Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier.
