About the tides at Duck

Duck has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The average range is about 3.2 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 3.7 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.7 ft on October 27, and the lowest is −0.9 ft on January 23.

Duck Pier 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 wind and air pressure. It was established in 1977. The nearest other station is Kitty Hawk, 6 mi away.
