About the tides at Gallant Channel

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.8 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier. On a typical day the water moves about 2.8 ft between high and low. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 4.7 ft, comes on October 28, and the smallest, 1.9 ft, on Monday. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.5 ft on November 25 and bottom out at −1.2 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Beaufort, 0.8 mi away, where high tide comes about 22 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Newport Marshes, SE of.

Predictions are based on Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier.
