About the tides at Cedar Island

Cedar Island has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows of similar height each day, about 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. Water here rises and falls only about 0.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 0.2 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on Thursday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.5 ft on March 18 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on June 24.

Predictions for Cedar Island come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. It was established in 1977. The nearest other station is Sea Level, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 56 min later.
