About the tides at Kitty Hawk

Kitty Hawk has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. The pattern follows the reference station at Duck, Frf Pier. On a typical day the water moves about 2.9 ft between high and low. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 4.8 ft on October 27 and bottom out at −1.4 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Duck, Frf Pier, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Duck, 6 mi away.

Predictions are based on Duck, Frf Pier.
