About the tides at Harkers Island Bridge

Harkers Island Bridge has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. Water here rises and falls only about 1.5 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, on Sunday.

Harkers Island Bridge is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Lenoxville Point, 2 mi away, where high tide comes about 50 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Carrot Island.
