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 3.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 4.2 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 3.2 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Kitty Hawk, 6 mi away.
