About the tides at Oxford

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 1.2 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.1 ft, comes today, and the smallest, 0.9 ft, on Monday.

Oxford is a subordinate station, so NOAA publishes only its high and low times and heights. The nearest other station is Deep Neck Point, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 7 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Chlora Point, 0.5 n.mi. SSW of.
