About the tides at Engelhard
Expect two roughly equal high tides a day at Engelhard, each arriving about 50 minutes later than the day before. The mean range is small, about 0.4 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on November 1, with a range of 0.4 ft. Neap tides follow on Saturday, when the range shrinks to 0.3 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 0.9 ft on September 27, and the lowest is −0.3 ft on February 8.
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 from 2021 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Hatteras, 26 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 45 m earlier.
