About the tides at Oyster Creek

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 0.3 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, 0.4 ft, comes tomorrow, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, on October 9.

Predictions for Oyster Creek come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. The nearest other station is Roanoke Marshes Light, 3 mi away. For tidal currents, see Herbert C. Bonner Bridge, WSW of.
