About the tides at Oregon Inlet (USCG Station)

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.6 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.9 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. That is smaller than most North Carolina stations on this site. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.2 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 3.0 ft on October 28, and the lowest is −0.6 ft on January 24.

This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1975 to 1994 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Oregon Inlet Bridge, 0.7 mi away, where high tide comes about 12 min later. For tidal currents, see Coast Guard Tower, southwest of.
