About the tides at Oriental
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. Water here rises and falls only about 0.1 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, 0.3 ft, comes on Saturday, and the smallest, 0.1 ft, on Tuesday.
Predictions for Oriental come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Core Creek Bridge, 14 mi away, where high tide comes about 5 h 8 m later.
