About the tides at North River Bridge
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 mean range is small, about 1.7 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.7 ft. Neap tides follow today, when the range shrinks to 1.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.6 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 23.
North River Bridge is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier: highs come about 145 min and lows about 188 min later than there. NOAA measured the tide here in 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Newport River (Yacht Club), 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 22 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Newport Marshes, E of.
Predictions are based on Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier.
