About the tides at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier

Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 3.0 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.5 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.6 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 2.1 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.5 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 23.

Predictions for Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier 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 1973 to 2018 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hatteras, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 35 m later. For tidal currents, see Hatteras Inlet.
