About the tides at Oregon Inlet Channel

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 Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound. Water here rises and falls only about 1.2 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, 1.7 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 1.9 ft on September 29 and bottom out at −0.1 ft on January 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Oregon Inlet Bridge, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, Wsw of.

Predictions are based on Oregon Inlet Marina, Pamlico Sound.
