About the tides at Peter's Ditch

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 0.4 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, 0.5 ft, comes on October 29, and the smallest, 0.3 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 0.6 ft on January 24 and bottom out at 0.0 ft on December 24.

Predictions for Peter's Ditch come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here in 2012 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Cape Hatteras Fishing Pier, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 27 m earlier.
