About the tides at Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary)
Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) has a mixed tide. The two daily highs, and especially the two lows, can differ a lot in height. On a typical day the water moves about 4.6 ft between high and low. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 5.1 ft. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 6.1 ft on October 1 and bottom out at −0.9 ft on January 23.
Predictions for Oyster Landing (N. Inlet Estuary) come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 1982 to 2022 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Clambank Creek, 1 mi away, where high tide comes about 18 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Lafayette swing bridge, Waccamaw River.
