About the tides at Oregon Inlet (USCG Station)

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The average range is about 2.1 ft. Spring tides add a little more at both ends. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. The next spring tides peak today, with a range of 2.9 ft. Neap tides follow on Sunday, when the range shrinks to 2.1 ft.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. The nearest other station is Oregon Inlet Bridge, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 13 min later. For tidal currents, see Coast Guard Tower, southwest of.
