About the tides at Davis
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 mean range is small, about 1.1 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.8 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 23.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here in 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Sea Level, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 22 m later. For tidal currents, see Carrot Island.
