About the tides at Morehead City

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier. The average range is about 3.0 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 4.7 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −1.2 ft on January 23.

Morehead City is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier: highs come about 26 min and lows about 27 min later than there. The nearest other station is Morehead City Harbor, 0.9 mi away, where high tide comes about 6 min later. For tidal currents, see Morehead City, RR. bridge, N of.

Predictions are based on Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier.
