About the tides at Hatteras

Hatteras has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The mean range is small, about 0.5 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 1.0 ft on September 29, and the lowest is −0.2 ft on February 11.

Coast Guard Station Hatteras 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 water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 2010. The nearest other station is Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 32 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Hatteras Inlet.

Tide predictions and water levels from NOAA CO-OPS. For planning only, not for navigation. Real water levels can differ because of wind, air pressure and river flow. Always check conditions on site.
